Well, the interesting point here is that if these scripts start issuing
CREATE/DROP EXTENSION, they'd work just fine on non-core PLs, assuming
the PL authors get with the program and provide extension packaging.
The only difference between core and non-core PLs will be that the
latter require superuser permission to install, where the former require
only database owner (at least in the trusted variant).
