And I do see a problem with that approach: what if you want to add another method one day to e.g. enable close animation again? Then you need to extend KWindowEffectsSkipCloseAnimation in exactly the same way as I proposed originally.

Then I add a KWindowEffectsEnableCloseAnimation extension.

This is why I put the extensions in another header. kwindoweffects_p.h is going to get very ugly very fast if I keep adding micro-features - let's confine the ugliness to this one place.

If you go the chain of inheritence way, it'll end up like this one day:

I welcome comments on how exactly to do this - creating a new base class (KWindowEffectsPrivate2 based on KWindowEffectsPrivate and basing the plugins off that sounds kind of complicated). Maybe we can just drop internal ABI compatibility and update kwayland-integration to implement the new method too?
