Add support for 'internal' types in custom method discovery?

[julealgon]

As part of serilog/serilog-sinks-map#22, I ended up creating a custom extension method for my particular case, then configuring my appsettings to use it, adding the Using node in the json pointing to my assembly.

However, it only seems to work when the method is exposed in a public class. Trying to change it to internal and adding a InternalsVisibleTo attribute in my project targeting Serilog.Settings.Configuration didn't work at all: my method was just ignored.

I'd prefer keeping my method internal as I don't want anyone else from outside calling it (it is specific to this particular project).

Can this scenario be supported?

Have you tried exposing the assembly to the Serilog assembly?

[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("Serilog")]
// may also need to expose to configuration as well
[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("Serilog.Settings.Configuration")]
