Thinking about it some more what could be convincing is that an extension
could be made of only SQL, with no module (.so) (I have a case here).
If a single .sql file can be seen as an extension, I'd want to avoid naming it
the same as the .so file itself. Having the term "module" refer either to a
single .so (or .dll), or a .so with an accompanying .sql file to install it, or
even just the SQL file... would add confusion, methinks.
If there's not enough confusion here to grant separating what we call a module
and what we call an extension, then I'll go edit my proposal :)

Agreed, this reason is not a good one for splitting module and extension.
