When the extension method call cannot be written without type arguments
(another extension method with the same name and a different arity is
found first), the call falls back to the static form. For 'a?.M()' that
fallback produced 'Enumerable.Count(s?)', which is not valid C#. Writing
the type arguments excludes the extension methods of a different arity,
so for a null-conditional target the type arguments are tried before
giving up.
