I like this!

This `extensions` field would be identical to the `enable` field, wouldn't
it, or would it mean that all default extensions not explicitly mentioned
in it would be disabled? And what would happen if someone uses it together
with `disable` and/or `enable`; which would be ignored, or would it be an
error condition?

If the format can be a table as described I think it is better to always
ignore the format/extension info in the ReaderOptions — and say so clearly
in the documentation!

Agreed.

I think this would be fine.

Also I assume that `pandoc.write()` would behave analogously?
