I think the problem with the v2 extension mechanism is that we
exposed how the expression templates were implemented. That left
us with no choice but to make a breaking change in the extension
mechanism between v2 and v3.

IMO ideally any extension mechanism for v3 would not expose directly that
proto is the underlying ET engine. I'm not sure how practical this
will be to do though, as we may need a mass of indirection to avoid
exposing proto directly?
