I disagree, see my post previously about initializing the extensions
schema to not be accessible initially. It would be there, it would be
loaded, but it would take a superuser to grant ability to access functions.

This allows a clean distinction between the modules while allowing their
access on a case by case basis.

I didn't say it was hard. I said I wasn't interested
