Q: wonder why make this plugin but not make those functions built-in #2

Looks like this plugin is the improved and more easily customized version of live_grep and find_files of telescope.

Just curious why these functions are put into a separate plug-in instead of directly built-in.

Okay i give this one a try.

  1. We tj put up this extension it was like the second one and it was kinda functioning as a way to make sure tjs extension interface works as expected.
  2. We defined Extensions very loosely in some thread as more finder definition which need something else to function. Like telescope-dap.nvim require dap.nvim, this one requires fzf. And if we put that in core and replace live_grep and find_files people need fzf now and i think some people actually moved on and removed fzf from their machines.
