Waiting for 9.6 – Add CASCADE support for CREATE EXTENSION.

On 3rd of October, Andres Freund committed patch:

Add CASCADE support for CREATE EXTENSION.
 
Without CASCADE, if an extension has an unfullfilled dependency on
another extension, CREATE EXTENSION ERRORs out with "required extension
... is not installed". That is annoying, especially when that dependency
is an implementation detail of the extension, rather than something the
extension's user can make sense of.
 
In addition to CASCADE this also includes a small set of regression
tests around CREATE EXTENSION.
