Thanks Christian, that is simpler than my own SetDayOfYear routine.
However I still don't understand why the compiler won't let me call a
method named DayOfYear.

I'm pretty sure extension methods have low precedence when resolving the dots. Probably the compiler checks first to see if there is a computed property with that name, sees that there is no set implementation, and spits out an error instead of next checking for an extension.
