Context: We want to have load_namespaces to be True by default. This reads cached schemas and automatically tries to generate the API for any missing namespaces. The prime example being extensions.

On the pynwb side, I do not see any tests involving a roundtrip for a file with extensions, testing the whole load_namespace finding the cached schemas.
