I keep having things to add after sending my emails. Now that we have
all conflicted entries in file block, the conflict data block becomes
optional, it functions exactly (I think) like resolve-undo extension,
which makes me think it might make sense to make conflict data block
an extension.

If we make it so, we might want to move "cr" and "ncr" fields out of
direntries. I don't see a solution yet, but I think it's interesting
because future extensions might want to attach stuff to direntries,
just like "cr"/"ncr" from conflict extension. We may want to think now
how that might be done (and conflict extension is a good exercise to
see how it works out)
