public static bool TryMergeFieldFrom<TTarget>(ref ExtensionSet<TTarget> set, CodedInputStream stream) where TTarget : IExtendableMessage<TTarget>
Tries to merge a field from the coded input, returning true if the field was merged.
If the set is null or the field was not otherwise merged, this returns false.
