Yeah, that proposal is a non-starter.  I could see providing an
initdb option to adjust the value applied during initdb, though.

Ideally, maybe what we want is a generalized switch that could
replace any variable in the sample config, along the lines of
the server's "-c foo=bar".  I recall having tried to do that and
having run into quoting hazards, but I did not try very hard.
