Interfaces can easily be extended using extension methods.

public static class IStreamableExtensions
{
    public static void NewMethod(this IStreamable streamable)
    {
        // Do something with streamable.
    }
}

Interfaces can be inherited with derived types identifying extended functionality.

** Based on requirement, approach, type coupling level, or pure laziness, this approach could be frowned upon

namespace External // [inaccessible]
{
	public interface IStreamable
    {
		void ExternalMethod();
    }
}

namespace Internal
{
	public interface IStreamable : External.IStreamable
	{
		void InternalMethod();
	}
}

namespace Internal
{
	public class Streamable : Internal.IStreamable
	{
      public void ExternalMethod()
      {
		// do something
      }

      public void InternalMethod()
      {
        // do something
      }
	}
}

// Here is where laziness could kick in.
// Imagine a scenario where you have to now do the above,
// or something of the sort, to effectively override multiple
// types/interfaces - since callers would now have to either
// override the types or do something like the below.
namespace External
{
	public class Container
    {
		public External.IStreamable MyProp { get; set; }
    }
}

// Option 1 - Possible rabbit hole
namespace Internal
{
	public class Container : External.Container
    {
		public Internal.IStreamable MyProp { get; set; }
    }
}

// Option 2 - Messy and quite nasty coding
namespace Internal
{
	public class ExampleClass
    {
      public ExampleClass()
      {
        Container = new External.Container();
        Container.MyProp = new Internal.Streamable();
        ((Internal.IStreamable)Container.MyProp).InternalMethod()
      }
      
      public External.Container Container { get; set; }
    }
}
