Seems simple enough. Certainly far simpler than my Packaging & Lookup RFC[0], 
and solves the same problems. This would, for example, allow CNPG extension 
images to work as soon as they’re mounted as a directory covered by the 
wildcard, without requiring 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 gotchas to be aware of, 
aside from the current lack of Windows support?
