+<p>
+Suppose there is a method in a class that you need to replace and keep the method name the same.
+This can be achieved combining the <tt>%extend</tt> and <tt>%ignore</tt> directives covered earlier.
+Here is an example to replace the <tt>MyClass::mymethod()</tt>:
+
+<div class="code">
+<pre>
+%extend MyClass {
+  void mymethod() {
+    std::cout &lt;&lt; "swig mymethod" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
+  }
+}
+
+%ignore MyClass::mymethod;
+
+%inline %{
+class MyClass {
+public:
+  void mymethod() {
+    std::cout &lt;&lt; "class mymethod" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
+  }
+};
+%}
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>
+Or if your code organization makes more sense to put
+the <tt>%extend</tt> after the class definition, you would need the following:
+</p>
+
+<div class="code">
+<pre>
+%rename("") MyClass::mymethod; // unignores the method
+</pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>
+before the <tt>%extend</tt> or SWIG will continue to ignore
+<tt>mymethod()</tt>, even in an <tt>%extend</tt>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that you can call the class method from the method
+in <tt>%extend</tt>, just use <tt>self-&gt;mymethod()</tt> and it will call
+the class method, not the one in <tt>%extend</tt>.
