[GENERAL] Two versions of an extension in the same cluster?

[Paul Jungwirth]

Hello,

I've got an extension that supplies functions written in C. Two 
databases from the same cluster both use this extension. I understand 
how I can load the example--2.0.0.sql file in one database, and 
example--3.0.0.sql in another, but from what I can tell both databases 
still share the same .so file. Is there any way to provide a separate 
.so for each version?

If not, what is the best approach for releasing a new .so that keeps the 
old functionality? I guess something this?:

    # example--2.0.0.sql
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
    myfunc(anyarray)
    RETURNS integer
    AS 'example', 'myfunc_v2_0_0'
    LANGUAGE c IMMUTABLE;

    # example--3.0.0.sql
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
    myfunc(anyarray)
    RETURNS integer
    AS 'example', 'myfunc_v3_0_0'
    LANGUAGE c IMMUTABLE;

Thanks,
Paul
