Cool ! Notice that we have two places so far in d2 where we want to
locate the code through configuration:
- pre- and post- hooks for commands (commited already in d2 tip)
- extensions (not present yet)
and maybe a third one soon: new commands could be registered like that
instead of the current mechanism that makes a lot of assumptions
(dir-based with the obligation to have a module and the class named
like the command,)
