Personally, I'm not a fan of auto-installing, so I'd hope for
something more like pip would fail to install if a required extension
were missing. The user would then install the extension and redo the
install. But that may be a minority opinion - it's a bit like
setup_requires in principle, and people seem to prefer that to be
auto-installed.
