Seems simple enough. Certainly far simpler than my Packaging & Lookup RFC[0], and solves the same problems. This would,
forexample, allow CNPG extension images to work as soon as they’re mounted as a directory covered by the wildcard,
withoutrequiring a Postgres restart! (k8s mounts still require a new pod, but that’s obviously not something we can
change.)

Peter E: what do you think about this as an evolution of the extension_control_path/dynamic_library_path work? Any
gotchasto be aware of, aside from the current lack of Windows support?
