Since extract() method is just a wrapper around lxml.etree.tostring it would make sense allowing of kwargs passthrough. This would enable more flexibility for getting string data.

For example it allows usage of pretty_print kwarg:

>>> foo = '<body><div>hi</div></body>'
>>> from parsel import Selector
>>> Selector(text=foo).extract()
'<html><body><div>hi</div></body></html>'
# vs
>>> print(Selector(text=foo).extract(pretty_print=True, method='xml'))
<html>
  <body>
    <div>hi</div>
  </body>
</html>

See my attempt at patch for this: #101
