Actually, it occurs to me that the need for ALTER EXTENSION DROP could
be upon us sooner than we think. The cases where an extension upgrade
script would need that are
(1) you want to remove some deprecated piece of the extension's API;
(2) you want to remove some no-longer-needed internal function.
Without ALTER EXTENSION DROP it's flat out impossible to do either.
What if you just DROP FUNCTION in the upgrade script?
That would be rejected because you're not allowed to drop an individual
member object of an extension. (And no, I don't want to have a kluge in
dependency.c that makes that test work differently when
creating_extension.)
