Extensible variants are undocumented about rescript-lang.org HOT 2 CLOSED

Btw, @yawaramin helpfully explained to me that extensible variants are an OCaml feature: https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/extensiblevariants.html. I just messed around with syntax until I figured it out and apparently reinvented the same name :-)

The ReScript docs also don't explain .., which is an elision, which is documented in ReasonML's docs on open objects. ReScript's docs don't talk about open objects at all, let alone elisions, but both sets of docs omit the fact that you can apparently use elisions to define extensible variants.

Yeah, we don't support the OCaml Object features, that's why there is no open object docs. I personally never used extensible variants, so I thought they were not included in the current ReScript syntax.

We can add an extra title in the Variants section to explain extensible variant syntax, and we should probably add it to the syntax discovery widget as well.
