Part of the behavior of CREATE EXTENSION would be to automatically  
schema-qualify references to objects  in the extension. Or perhaps  
extension authors would need to use some sort of variable for the  
schema that would be properly resolved when CREATE EXTENSION installed  
an extension.

Those are the first ideas that come to kind for me, anyway.
