Up until now, I'd not considered that, since we always build
with EXTENSIONS defined. Yes, manual page clarifications would
be good - was that a volunteer I heard? :-)

If you're talking about keeping the definition itself, rather than the
code that's compiled when EXTENSIONS is defined, I don't see any
compelling reason to get rid of it, or any gain to be had. I could
also see some drawbacks.
