One of the main things that I dislike with extension registration is
that it means that running mzscheme on a file makes it do much more
work, in this case -- digging through all info files (reading
"collects/info-domain/compiled/cache.ss") for the registration. This
is in addition to the (bad) result of making the semantics of files
depend on my specific environment. (For example, this is one of the
bad aspects of having teachpacks specified outside of the file.)
