Oh, cool! This is exactly the same code I was asking the community to
comment out if this is wanted/expected behavior. Unfortunately no reply was
given. This is why I suggested a warning if type's method has the same name
as such protocol extension method in my current thread "[Pitch] Requiring
special keyword to mark protocol implementation methods"

See this example that demonstrates how it's pretty much unusable (IMHO), since
whenever you refer to the instance as to the protocol, the default
implementation gets invoked:
protocol MyProtocol { }
extension MyProtocol {
func getInt() -> Int {
return 0
}
}
class MyClass: MyProtocol {
func getInt() -> Int {
return 1
}
}
let instance = MyClass()
instance.getInt() // 1
var anyInstance: MyProtocol = instance
anyInstance.getInt() // 0 !!!!!!!
Since anyInstance is of MyProtocol type, you get the default implementation (no
dynamic dispatch).

There are dispatching rules of protocol extension default methods? I
thought the methods are selected randomly... just kidding -

Could you please describe the joke and the problem of 'dispatching rules of
protocol extensions default methods'? Want to clarify this for myself. Thank
you.
