Well this is rather upsetting, it seems extensions still cannot add stored properties... Back to using objc_setassociatedobject and objc_getassociatedobject it seems for extension properties, sadface.
Also seems you can't override existing methods or properties still (actually achievable with swizzling of methods & property getter/setters on init but always seems way to heavy to use in reality). I would love to have a more mix-in friendly environment at some point in time.

“You cannot use extensions to override existing methods or properties on Objective-C types.”

Not surprising. Class extensions in Objective-C cannot add stored properties either; objc_setassociatedobject and objc_getassociatedobject are shitty hacks.
