I’ve wanted this for a long time. I think it would have to create a temporary cluster, fire up a server, install the
extension(s),run the tests, shut down the server and delete the cluster.

atit briefly and the big PITA about doing it was having to manage the temporary database (and ideally temporary
cluster).If standing those up was separated from pg_regress it would make it a lot easier for someone to customize how
testingworks under PGXS. 

Right, then pg_regress could just be the default test framework.
