Rename extension?

Is there a way to rename an installed extension?

I have written an extension, but I don't like the name I originally chose,
and I would therefore like to rename it. However, it is installed on a
production system, from which it cannot be uninstalled, and I would like to
rename it there, too.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

You could fiddle with the catalogs, i.e. update pg_extension.

But try it on a test system first.
