Numerous more MW can potentially use... php5-uuid, php5-redis, php5-curl, php5-imagick, php5-intl, php5-mcrypt,php5-memcached, php5-tidy, php5-xmlrpc, php5-redis php5-mysql, php5-pgsql, php5-sqlite "suggest": { "ext-fileinfo": "*", "ext-mbstring": "*", "ext-wikidiff2": "*", "ext-apc": "*" }

Could composer also potentially build [[mw:FastStringSearch]] and the like?
Imho yes, it should not be any different from wikidiff2 in that regard.

I'm a bit sceptical about the added value of such a huge list of suggest items. In fact I'd be inclined to remove the current list. Composer is being used to install extensions into MediaWiki. Not to install MediaWiki. The installer seems a much better place to provide such suggestions. Also consider that the composer.json file is like LocalSettings.php not in git. I think it makes sense to not put in things there just because we can, and rather keep it minimalistic.
