Followup

Where did our previous discussions from the 2019-11-18 meeting land? Did anyone take notes?
- Let's re-discuss the shortcuts proposal? globalShortcuts => shortcuts
- What's the motivation?
- Is this technically feasible?
- There's a 3rd-party module that does this, but poorly (electron-localshort)
  - electron-localshortcut

Agenda

//extensions API— NB, none of this is available in any release, and won't be until //extensions is stable & working. But we should still talk about this draft API!
- Consider pushing it to session.extensions.loadExtension / etc.
- What happens if you load the same extension twice? Potentially w/ a different version?
- Load extensions from ASAR?
- What extensions should we test with?
