Thanks for feedback from you.

Looks like section's 6.83 current structure wouldn't reflect this fact well. Warning is placed directly below
one-sentence and indented text describing to BBCLASSEXTEND-case

Looks like a mistake in the documentation. Native only recipes (ie recipes which use "inherit native" rather than BBCLASSEXTEND) should have "-native" as a suffix, not "native-" as a prefix.

If you use BBCLASSEXTEND (ie "the second method") then that recipe naming rule doesn't apply. ie a recipe using BBCLASSEXTEND should not have a "-native" suffix.
