/// loading entries and extensions in parallel.
///
/// Itself it's located at the end of the index file, which allows its location to be known and thus addressable.
/// From there it's possible to traverse the chunks of all set extensions, hash them, and compare that hash with all extensions
/// stored prior to this one to assure they are correct.
///
/// If the checksum wasn't matched, we will ignore this extension entirely.
