Comment (by goldfire):

 I personally think that extensions should be used when describing
 themselves or nearby features, but otherwise avoided in the manual. I also
 believe that record wildcards are less used than some other extensions and
 may be unfamiliar to readers. Thus, I advocate not making this change.
