If we can predict that many new extension headers will be defined

define a set of parameters including the Next Header value in the
immediately preceding header,a list of the format of probable
options,the extension headers that might be placed before the newly
defined extension header,and the probable actions of the router
when meeting the extension header.The purppose of the parameters
likes the feature of virsus.
So future implementations can recognize any extension header.
I don't see how we can predict this.
This is exactly why we previously defined the hop-by-hop option
format. It does all of these things.
