+Extensions can have arbitrary names (here `ContourExt`), following the format of this example is likely a good idea for extensions with a single dependency.
+In `Pkg` output, extension names are always shown together with their parent package name.
 
 A user that depends only on `Plotting` will not pay the cost of the "extension" inside the `PlottingContourExt` module.
 It is only when the `Contour` package actually gets loaded that the `PlottingContourExt` extension is loaded
