Good suggestion, thanks. How about this in the FAQ?
* WTF is an "extension"?
An extension is a piece of software that adds functionality to PostgreSQL itself. Examples are data types (CITEXT,
PERIOD),utilities (newsysviews, pgTAP), and procedural languages (PL/Ruby, PL/R), among others. An extension is *not* a
pieceof software designed to run on top of PostgreSQL (Bricolage, Drupal).
