Just to be clear here: the case we are concerned about is, given that
we have determined that function X is or is not a member of one of the
extensions marked "shippable" for a given connection, is it likely that
that status will change (while the function continues to exist with
the same OID) during the lifespan of the connection? If it did change,
how critical would it be for us to honor the new shippability criterion
on that connection? My answer to both is "not very". So I'm not excited
about expending lots of code or cycles to check for such changes.
If we were trying to cache things across more than a connection lifespan,
the answer might be different.
