If we did feel like doing something about this, on reflection I think
the thing to do would be to add no_relocate as an actual column in
pg_extension, probably of type "oid[]". Then we could modify the
SET SCHEMA code to check that instead of parsing the extension control
files. That'd be a little cleaner, but I can't say that I'm hugely
excited about it.
