It's worth noting also that we actually *have* infrastructure for
updating extensions without initdb; unlike the initial contents of
pg_proc. So this approach is more attractive than it might seem
on its face, assuming you are going to do this as SQL functions.
(I share the doubts expressed elsewhere as to how feasible that
actually is.)
