+/**
+ * Creates a thread-local mock for the static methods of the class that contains this top-level
+ * extension function.
+ *
+ * Top-level Kotlin extension functions compile to static methods in a `*Kt` class. This helper
+ * simplifies creating a [MockedStatic] for them.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * ```
+ * fun String.isHello(): Boolean = this == "Hello"
+ *
+ * mockExtensionFun(String::isHello).use {
+ *     whenever("test".isHello()).thenReturn(true)
+ *     println("test".isHello()) // "true"
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * When using matchers, all arguments including the receiver must use matchers:
+ * ```
+ * fun String.hasPrefix(prefix: String): Boolean = this.startsWith(prefix)
+ *
+ * mockExtensionFun(String::hasPrefix).use {
+ *     whenever(any<String>().hasPrefix(eq("foo"))).thenReturn(true)
+ *     println("bar".hasPrefix("foo")) // "true"
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Note: member extension functions (extension functions declared inside a class) do not need this
+ * helper. They can be mocked by creating a regular [mock] of the containing class.
+ *
+ * @param function a reference to the top-level extension function to mock.
+ * @see Mockito.mockStatic
