In Wux's example, he has third party code:

```
Type ThirdParty {
    func foo() { print("from third party") }
}
```

Then in his own code, he defines protocol A and extends it:

extension A {
    func foo() {
        print("Self is B")
    }
}

and conforms ThirdParty to A. But he wants the original  foo() implementation. 
Your approach
for writing an extension for plain A without a where clause doesn't offer that 
solution. The goal
here is "Add this default behavior *only* where a type does not conform to B"
