Oops I had forgotten to submit the updated patch strk was testing against in
my fork.
He had asked me to clean up the warnings off list and the description.

Attached is the revised.
Thanks strk for the patient help and guidance.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Allow @extschema:<extname>@ in extension scripts

This feature allows an extension author to reference
extension schemas of extensions in the requires variable
of the control file using variable syntax
@extschema:<extname>@  where <extname> is the
name of any of the listed required extensions.

This feature is needed particularly in cases
when another extension packages a function
which references an object from one of its
required extensions and this function is used to back
indexes, constraints, and materialized views.

Without this feature, because pg_restore removes the paths,
these indexes, constraints, materialized views are not restored
because when the function is called, the function call fails
because items it depends on cannot be schema qualified.

This feature will allow extension authors to schema qualify
references to required extension objects to prevent this issue.
Aside from this issue, schema qualifying all these references will
improve security by preventing a rogue version of a function from being
used.

 - Extension tests both Makefile and meson.build
 - Documentation of the new feature
 - Prevent an extension from being relocated if
   another extension requires it
