If you ever find the time to do it, that would be excellent!
The extension facility is on the top list of Josh Berkus missing things we'll have to provide soon (or something) and a
veryannoying missing feature, the last stone of the high praised extensibility of PostgreSQL.

It could also means that pg_migrator would have an easier time handling user data types etc, if extension authors are
ableto implement the hooks to call to migrate their data from previous to next major version ondisk format. 

Anyway, thanks for considering it!

whateverfor details etc :)
