948
949 Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using
950 them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions
951 loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource.
952 For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
953 except "selection".
954
955 Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle
956 brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey
957 for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same
958 extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple
959 arguments to the extension.

966 that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be
