Well, extensibility is a different issue than configurability (or
customizability).  To me, extensibility connotes programming,
while configurability means command line switches and control
variables.

Obviously, if you're a programmer and you can grok Emacs' source
code, then you can make it do anything you want.  I was speaking
of my own belief that user folly should not encouraged by making
foolish things easy to do.
