With all the concern about parsing in this thread, perhaps it's best
if this config-overrides file not be of the same syntax as postgresql.conf
at all.
If the interactive form of these overrides will be
"SET PERMANENTLY work_mem TO 65MB;", why not make the override
config file use the same syntax; since a parser for it'll have
to exist anyway?
Maybe some XML bloat. Or, since you mentioned it, perhaps SQLite
itself, since some people on the thread seem to want sql-like
syntaxes to maintain it?
[Personally, we maintain perl scripts that apply patches to
the default postgresql.conf; and check those in to source
control. I don't think I'd use this override file feature.]
