thanks, but I think just a simple log message here is sufficient, and we deliberately don't need more (neither the message shown, nor the new field).

- I don't think we should have 2 representations in the internal C++ representation, to make sure canonicalization happens at a single place and rest of the logic that relies on this option doesn't have visibility into both versions. Though we can call this field `PositionEncodings` now to align with the standard.
- Showing a message to user is too disruptive. It'll pop up on every startup. Moreover the user can't do anything to suppress that, extension author needs to take action.
