Protobuf Extensions Support

[yeenow123]

This is more of a question rather than issue. Is it planned or even possible to support protobuf extensions?

Hi,

This is something that I need to verify, given that the parsing logic is all done by the protobuf.js I'm not sure if they allow for different extension. Will dig into this and come back here

We also bitten by this. It does look like protobuf.js supports it: https://github.com/dcodeIO/protobuf.js/blob/e8449c4bf1269a2cc423708db6f0b47a383d33f0/tests/comp_options-textformat.js

I am getting an error when importing something even more simple that their test case in BloomRPC:

syntax = "proto3";

import "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto";

extend google.protobuf.FieldOptions {
  string description = 50000;
}

I'll see if I can run BloomRPC locally from the sources to investigate.

It looks like something explicit is needed https://github.com/dcodeIO/protobuf.js/blob/d6e3b9e/src/common.js#L36
