It was my first idea but I didn't propose it as it's really a
different thing IMHO. enable_* variables don't change the way
PostgreSQL really does the job as synchronize_scans (or whatever the
name will be) does.
And it's not very consistent with the other GUC variables (most of
them could have "enable" in their name) but we limited the usage of
enable_* to planner variables. I don't know if it's on purpose though.
