Right, I wasn't too clear about that, but I meant that we'd have some
sort of locked-down state for an extension that would forbid fooling
with its contents. For development purposes, or for anybody that "knows
what they're doing", adding/subtracting/modifying member objects is
mighty handy. But a non-superuser who's loaded an extension that
contains C functions ought not have those privileges for it.
