I don't mind this term, BUT, what we need to get across is not just that
these are extensions, but that they are *standard* extensions, supplied
with PostgreSQL core code and supported by the PostgreSQL core team.
This would be analogous with, say, the standard perl modules (like
Exporter or IO::Handle) that come with the standard perl source
distribution. If we can get that idea across then we might lower the
resistance of people like hosting providers to loading them.
