<pre>Giving an error when the extension changes behavior of existing functionality
can be useful for developers, as such things may cause grief for them. For
anything else, it's the error itself that causes grief.
Options for fixing this issue are:
- changing all errors about this to warnings
- making the error extension specific: outputting it only for behavior changing
extensions
- adding a config option for whether this gives an error or not. Default
config could then disable this error for binaries that are known to use
extension declarations in wrong place.
How common this issue is, what other programs have this issue besides Second
life client, photoshop, and Unigine Heaven benchmark? And what extensions
those declare in wrong place?</pre>
