Some ideas:
- want to be able to do INSTALL PACKAGE foo; without needing to mess with .sql files. This might default to looking
for $libdir/foo.so, or there might be a mechanism to register packages globally or locally.
- want to be able to do INSTALL PACKAGE foo VERSION 1; and get the version 1 API rather than whatever the latest is.
- want to be able to do INSTALL PACKAGE foo SCHEMA bar; rather than having to edit some .sql file.
- want to be able to do DROP PACKAGE foo;
- want pg_dump to not output the definitions of any objects that belong to a package, but instead to output an INSTALL
PACKAGEfoo VERSION n SCHEMA x;
