Currently, pg_settings.enumvals presents a list of strings formatted in
an ad-hoc manner. Shouldn't we be presenting this as text[], so that
clients don't need special-purpose code to break it apart?
Another possible argument is that the values ought to be separated by
newlines instead of ", ", which would still be a special-purpose format
but it would probably look better in modern psql versions. At least it
wouldn't be contributing to the problem of the view's output being
ridiculously wide.
Comments?
