It gives some better options for module authors and people installing
those modules:
1. Set it at the top of the file, in one place
2. Connect as the user whose schema you want to install into, i.e.:
$ psql my_db jdavis < module_install.sql
3. prepend the "SET search_path=foo" to the input of psql, i.e.:
$ echo "SET search_path=foo;" | cat module_install.sql | psql my_db
..or
$ psql my_db
=> SET search_path=foo;
=> \i module_install.sql
