## Description

PeasExtensionBase can optionally be used as a base class for the extensions of your plugin. By inheriting from it, you will make your extension able to access the related PeasPluginInfo, and especially the location where all the data of your plugin lives.

Non-C extensions will usually not inherit from this class: Python, Seed and GJS plugins automatically get a "plugin_info" attribute that serves the same purpose.
