Agreed.
I'd also add the seemingly obvious caveat that parameters should be
unique. A common problem is for one person to edit a postgresql.conf by
editing in place, then another person to add a line at the bottom. The
second entry overrides the first.
I would also like these settings to be grouped together as Profiles.
It's fairly common to have multiple postgresql.conf files for different
modes of processing: Normal Running, Bulkload, TuningMode so we would
want to be able to retain that capability in the future.
