Thanks!

Pushed, thanks.

Hm. I find the current ordering there a bit weird. Unrelated to your
proposed change. The header of the group is
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CLIENT CONNECTION DEFAULTS
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# - Statement Behavior -
but I don't quite see GUCs like default_tablespace, search_path (due to
determining a created table's schema), temp_tablespace,
default_table_access_method fit reasonably well under that heading. They
all can affect persistent state. That seems pretty different from a
number of other settings (client_min_messages,
default_transaction_isolation, lock_timeout, ...) which only have
transient effects.
Should we perhaps split that group? Not that I have a good proposal for
better names.
