Yeah, I was considering that too.  A new GUC_NO_RESET flag would be
cheaper than running the check hooks during RESET, and probably
safer too.  On the other hand, we would lose the property that
you can reset these settings as long as you've not yet taken a
snapshot.  I wonder whether there is any code out there that
depends on that ...
