API Version Convention Builder Should Be Extensible

[commonsensesoftware]

Overview

Some service authors want to replace the default API version convention builder. The API convention builder can be replaced in the API version options, but it is a concrete type. Some of the methods required to provide deep, end-to-end extensibility are not virtual and cannot be extended or otherwise customized.

Enhancement

All feasible extension points should be marked virtual (and most already are). Private methods should also be revisited and evaluated for their candidacy to be promoted to protected scope.
