If the extension installs everything in dedicated namespace(s), I think
we would want to have an option to add those namespaces easily to search
paths. Right now all we can do is to set a search path. It would be
nice, for example, to have support for appending or prepending something
to the search path.
I suspect most apps/extensions don't currently use namespaces much, or
we might well have seen more demand in this area.
