I anticipate dependencies becoming a big deal. I already have ideas for extensions that depend on citext, for example
(domainsfor time zone, email address, etc.). And yeah, some of those might depend on procedural languages. FWIW, I've
beenputting PL prereqs in META.json files on PGXN. pgTAP, for example, requires PL/pgSQL:
