Correct me if I'm wrong,
but for an extension that defines composite types,
there's currently no easy way to get a TupleDesc, even for its own types.

Something like 
TupleDesc get_extension_type_tupledesc(const char *extname, const char *typname)

Here's a routine I've stolen borrowed from pramsey's code and have been using ever since.

Could this be exposed in extension.h ? (probably without the version check)


Another significant issue - an only name is not a unique identifier in an extension.
