Hi,
We use the prefix "ext" (aka namespace) to distinguish these options which are related to "extensions".
Have you seen the previous thread [1] ?
yes, but I don't understand why it is necessary? I use a analogy with custom GUC - and there we don't use similar prefix. Only any prefix is required - and it can contain a dot.
