Sorry, I cut too much context.  I was saying that extending the user's
priority list is equivalent to making changes to the actual algorithms,
and is less intrusive, because if an older implementation does not
provide this extension, the user can do so instead.  This is so
under either the extlang or the no-extlang scheme.
