It'd still be a god forsakenly ugly API to use DefElems for this. Imo
not being able to specify a boolean argument for a boolean value pretty
much hints at it being the wrong approach. I don't see any reason to go
that way rather than split the 'cycle detection' state into an argument
to CreateExtensionInternal() or something.
