How exactly will that work for log messages generated in contexts where
we do not have working catalog access? (postmaster, crash recovery,
or pretty much anywhere where we're not in a valid transaction.)
This strikes me as much like the periodic suggestions we hear to get
rid of the GUC infrastructure in favor of keeping all those settings
in a table. It doesn't work because too much of that info is needed
below the level of working table access.
