* ``'version'``: a string that identifies the extension version. It is used for
extension version requirement checking (see :confval:`needs_extensions`) and
informational purposes. If not given, ``"unknown version"`` is substituted.
+* ``'parallel_read_safe'``: a boolean that specifies if parallel reading of
+ source files can be used when the extension is loaded. It defaults to
+ ``False``, i.e. you have to explicitly specify your extension to be
+ parallel-read-safe after checking that it is.
+* ``'parallel_write_safe'``: a boolean that specifies if parallel writing of
+ output files can be used when the extension is loaded. Since extensions
+ usually don't negatively influence the process, this defaults to ``True``.
