The extensions of this method

Each extension, and whether it exists for this method; an extension that exists combines with the others (FindSTCS).

Extension
Exists
What it adds · The names
Q
yes
does what the method does, then returns the object, so the call can be chained · SummarySentencesQ
QQ
yes
chains on the next, more specific type of object (the Q ladder) · SummarySentencesQQ

no
returns the result as an object of the requested type
CS
no
takes a case-sensitivity flag
ST
no
takes the position to start from (StartingAt)
