Hello,

i just ran into an error during creating the extension, make, install and installcheck went without errors.

<database>=# create extension rum;

I had the same problem. It looks like if you remove extension smlar, you can use rum, which is weird given that @feodor is credited as author for both extensions 😀 You might have to choose between one or the other, not both.

This is confusing, maybe it's worth renaming the operator like in #1?
