Calling protocol default implementation from regular method

Question

I\'m wondering if it\'s possible to achieve such a thing.
I have a Playground like this:

protocol Foo {
    func testPrint()
}

extension Foo {
    func

I have come up with a solution for this.

protocol Foo {
    var defaultImplementation: DefaultImpl? { get }
    func testPrint()
}

extension Foo {
    // Add default implementation
    var defaultImplementation: DefaultImpl? {
        get {
            return nil
        }
    }
}

struct DefaultImpl: Foo {
    func testPrint() {
        print("Foo")
    }
}


extension Foo {
    
    func testPrint() {
        defaultImplementation?.testPrint()
    }
}

struct Bar: Foo {
    
    var defaultImplementation: DefaultImpl? {
        get { return DefaultImpl() }
    }
    func testPrint() {
        defaultImplementation?.testPrint() // Prints "Foo"
    }
}

struct Baz: Foo {
    func testPrint() {
        print("Baz")
    }
}


let bar = Bar()
bar.testPrint() // prints "Foo"

let baz = Baz()
baz.testPrint() // prints "Baz"
