OT for this thread, but related: supposing out-of-core extensions
participate increasingly in NLS, would they really want to use
the PG_TEXTDOMAIN macro?
That munges the supplied domain name with PG's major version and
.so version numbers.
Were such versioning wanted for an out-of-core extension's message
catalogs, wouldn't the extension's own versioning be better suited?
