Fortunately, nobody's proposing that exact design, and I think there
are more recent emails where Tom expressed at least some support for
the idea of installing an extension purely via SQL, and in fact backed
the idea of being able to dump-and-restore the extension members as
superior to storing blobs in the catalog.
If you want to go beat your head against the wall, I don't blame you,
but it's not going to help us make any progress here.
