Description

Related to #223

Protocol extensions should be cached at call-site (on a protocol x local basis so that multiple calls benefit from it).

Pseudo code for call site:

IF extension_cache and extension_cache applies to x THEN
    use extension_cache on x
ELSE
    dispatch & cache
END

where dispatch & case may have an explicit test for the backing interface (sounds less pure but more efficient went than folding it into a pseudo extension)

The pseudocode defines the intended behavior: cache extensions per call site and protocol/local basis, reuse applicable entries, and verify the dispatch path and caching behavior with focused tests.
