Or just not with standard PostgreSQL syntax, because we can of course
do upgrades using the `SELECT postgis_extensions_upgrade()` call at
the moment, which, if you ask me, sounds MORE dangerous than the
wildcard upgrade approach because the _implementation_ of that
function will always be the OLD implementation, never the NEW one,
so if bogus cannot be fixed by a new release w/out a way to upgrade
there...
