While I'm looking at this ... what is the rationale for treating rewrite
rules as members of extensions, ie, why does the patch touch
rewriteDefine.c?  ISTM a rule is a property of a table and could not
sensibly be an independent member of an extension.  If there is a use
for that, why are table constraints and triggers not given the same
treatment?
