Yah, this is a good idea Nathan, since we may end up having to do the
same thing for a decent number of extensions going forward. Could you
please implement this Andy?

                                                                 ^
Is the extra space here intentional?

It's a shame that this had to become so complicated, but thanks for
adding a comment so that the rationale behind the complexity can be
understood.
Perhaps there's a case to be made for removing fd & v separately to make
things more understandable, but I think the removal of v is going to
look complex in both cases.
I'm happy with doing it like this now, but if, in the future, we need to
account for possibly having q too, I might advocate for the split rather
than adding more complexity.

With Nathan's suggestion of AS_HAS_OPTION_ARCH:
