Hm? We already know about the reset value of a parameter in
pg_settings, which points out to the value which would be used if reset
in a session, even after ebeing reloaded. If you compare it with the
actual setting value, wouldn't that be enough to know which parameters
have been changed at session-level by an application once connecting?
So you can pull out a list using such comparisons. The context a
parameter is associated to can also help.
