+1.  One complain which could be formulated is that this makes the
logs at startup more noisy.  Now your patch has an issue if you want to
ensure that this information gets added to the log files, because at
this stage of startup the GUCs are not loaded, hence this is sent to
stderr, and perhaps not on the log files.
