thread.)
+1. I'm interested in the feature.

Recently, I encountered a case where it would be nice if
different wait events were output for each extension.

I tested a combination of two extensions, postgres_fdw and neon[1],
and they output the "Extension" wait event, but it wasn't immediately 
clear
which one was the bottleneck.

This is just a example and it probable be useful for other users. IMO, 
at least,
it's better to improve the specification that "Extension" wait event 
type has
only the "Extension" wait event.
