The module is the shared library object. It should be possible to use that consistently. And I have some plans on my TODO list about them anyway, so making them disappear from the manual would not serve my later plansĀ :) > And auto_explain appears in your new "Core Extensions" section, but > it's not an extension in the terminology PostgreSQL uses, so that's > also potentially confusing. This is a related problem, we should have a terminology for contrib tools such as pg_standby or pg_archivecleanup, for modules like the one you talk about, that provide new features but nothing visible from SQL, and extensions, that are all about SQL --- and if I can work on my plans will get even more about SQL in a near future. It's too late for me today to contribute nice ideas here though.
