Extension methods are lang feature, LINQ is implemented with ext. Methods. You can argue that there is LINQ Query syntax instead of method chaining, but almost nobody is using this except for some specific cases (let keyword)

LINQ to objects yes, but LINQ to SQL is a different beast where the C# code is translated to SQL. Expression trees are very much a language feature, I guess.

Fair, expression trees are really good

But I thought they are implemented at library level, but now Im not sure
