Not sure it's that easy. I think DROP LANGUAGE can't assume that the
language it's been told to drop is extension-ified. (Even if we do this
for all the core ones, there are a dozen non-core ones that might not
all get with the program right away.) How do we make this work in a way
that covers both cases, but doesn't turn DROP LANGUAGE into a security
hole that lets non-superusers drop random extensions?

It may all work pretty easily, but I'm still caffeine-deprived so I'm
not sure ...
