Yea, I think that makes the most sense.
I was thinking about the common use-cases last night, and I realized  
that 98% of people probably just want to pass in the names -- so no  
need to make that more complex.

In this patch, the extensions argument to Markdown can contain both  
strings (["abbr"]) or objects (or, I suppose, both).  Strings are  
passed, along with their config from extension_configs, to  
load_extension, and then they are loaded as normal.

I don't think I have made any changes to the API, and the few tests  
I've run on existing extensions seem to suggest that everything does  
the Right Thing.
