It's the place where users will place extensions (both server plugins
and language extensions). For usability purposes I think it's better
to have this rather than to expect people to create it (they may
misspell it, etc). It's inside SuperCollider's own folder
/usr/share/SuperCollider rather than cluttering anywhere else, so I'd
argue it's not a problem.

I've discussed it with the upstream devs and we're OK with merging
them, so I've done that.

Best,
