visual studio - Hiding VB.NET extension methods / modules -

i have library written in vb.net containing extension methods. vb.net has 2 characteristics in opinion @ odds concept of extension methods:

• extension methods must declared in module (extension methods)
• all module members @ namespace scope (type promotion)

this means extension methods either accessible @ namespace level, or not accessible @ all. doesn't make sense, because scope conceptually type extend, not namespace.

the fact method declared extension influences naming, because while global utility method might include type, getdictionaryvalueornull, extension method can getvalueornull because should clear declared dictionary type. when extension methods global, can confusing: in (non-dictionary) class has getvalue method. if type "getvalue", visual studio list both "getvalue" , "getvalueornull", making appear though current class supports both operations.

is there solution (other "write in c#")? can mark module non-global, or @ least force visual studio display extension methods when being looked extension methods?

suggestion @ visual studio user voice: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/4228049-include-an-option-to-disable-the-promotion-of-scop

the obvious option move extension methods specific namespace, import when want them.
