That's not what happens, the pg_extensions() SRF will scan the directory
once and parse each control file once, of course. I'm tired enough to
mix the behaviour of finding the control file given *one* extension name
at CREATE EXTENSION time with listing all available extensions. Sorry
for the noise.

In my mind though, the baseline remains the same. Now I will have a
sleep and prepare for holidays, in some meaningful order…
