[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Gracefully handle proxies registering invalid extensions (#1212)

[Matthew Brush]

I personally don't feel strong about the specifics either, just that it should give some help.

Mostly I made this PR out frustration after spending an hour or so scratching my head trying to understand why my proxy plugin hooks weren't being called, sprinkling `printf`s all over my code and deep inside the bowels of Geany to solve it (yeah, I know I should've used my debugger). I simply just missed the mention in the API reference that said it doesn't include the dots. To my mind the dot is part of the extension, so I didn't even suspect that could be the problem until I really started pinning down the program flow.
