By viktorklang:

"I don't think so. Remember that the extension is only initialized in it's init method, which is only called if the extension isn't already registered. The worst thing that could happen is that a new (initialized) extension is created and then gc:d."

Either we require that the constructing of the Extension is side-effect free, or we use by-name for scala and Creator[Extension] for Java
