If the extension installs everything in dedicated namespace(s), I think 
we would want to have an option to add those namespaces easily to search 
paths. Right now all we can do is to set a search path. It would be 
nice, for example, to have support for appending or prepending something 
to the search path.

I suspect most apps/extensions don't currently use namespaces much, or 
we might well have seen more demand in this area.
