Bug Description

Extensions need to be enable in the paste.ini file but it is hard for an admin to know where they should be injected.

Extensions should probably be enabled in the config file with an on|off switch only and the extension code should tell where it wants to inject itself in paste.

"hard for an admin to know" is a problem that can be solved by great documentation, not by introducing redundant configuration options. in the case of API extensions, document the dependencies a particular piece of middleware has, such that it's a trivial task to add it to an existing pipeline.
