+				Appends an extension to the list of extensions used by this GLTF file during serialization. If [param required] is true, the extension will also be added to the list of required extensions. Do not run this in [method GLTFDocumentExtension._export_post], as that stage is too late to add extensions. The final list is sorted alphabetically.
