This is provided for when the source code system doesn't actually provide a definition
(there are many such). Providing an definition for a code SHOULD NOT be done where the
underlying code system provides a definition.
Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any
string value that does not contain spaces.
The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the
extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification.
The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see [Extensibility](http://
hl7.org/fhir/extensibility.html) for a list).
