-`extensions:` _identifier list_
-:   A list of Haskell extensions used by every module. Extension names
-    are the constructors of the [Extension][extension] type. These
-    determine corresponding compiler options. In particular, `CPP` specifies that
-    Haskell source files are to be preprocessed with a C preprocessor.

-    Extensions used only by one module may be specified by placing a
