By "extension", I meant to say "revision".

If you're not familiar with the iptables revision mechanism, for
instance, have a look at net/netfilter/xt_NFQUEUE.c

Look for the "revision" pattern in that code. Basicaly, it allows you
to enhance existing matches/targets without breaking backward
compatibility.
