I don't think it does anything of the sort. Getting to that point by
adding GUCs is quickly going to produce obviously unacceptable numbers
of GUCs. Or if it isn't, then I'd like to hear the whole designed
laid out. I think Magnus's idea of a separate config file is much
more likely to be succesful than what we have here, but that too will
require some design that hasn't been done yet.
