Description Mickael Istria CLA 2022-02-15 00:48:39 EST 
It would be convenient to declare enabledWhen/activeWhen of some extensions according to a preference. It could take form of something like:

  <with variable="preferenceStore">
    <test property="preferenceName" value="true"/>
  </with>

or
 
  <with variable="instanceScope">
    <test property="fully.qualified.propertyName" value="true"/>
  </with>
