Appendix F (contrib.sgml and its subsidiary files) is pretty consistent about using "module" to refer to a contrib, uh, module.
I considered doing a search-and-replace to change this to "extension", but I'm not convinced that's a good idea. I think "extension" means a specific kind of SQL object that we just invented, and it's not exactly the same concept as "one of those subdirectories under contrib/". One pretty obvious example is that contrib/spi calls itself a module, and it's definitely not an extension --- it contains five extensions, none of them named "spi". Another problem is that we'd like to speak of upgrading a module from pre-9.1 to 9.1, and in only one of those two states is it strictly correct to call it an "extension". But in some sense it's still the same entity. So I'm not sure whether to change the text at all.
