Extender sounds good to me, except that:

   * the mixin terminology is pretty well established.  Still, if a 
terminology change is appropriate, the sooner the better.
   * what do we use then, extender and extendee?  Not much better than mixer 
and mixee, imho

Don't know why I keep sticking my nose in here--will try to restrain 
myself ;-)
