I'm wondering how much helpful this feature is. Because, even if we can save
some steps for CREATE EXTENSION by using the feature, we still need to
manually find out, download and install all the extensions that the target
extension depends on. So isn't it better to implement the tool like yum, i.e.,
which performs all those steps almost automatically, rather than the proposed
feature? Maybe it's outside PostgreSQL core.
