This seems to imply that this gives information about only a subset of
configuration files; specifically, those auto-generated based on SQL
commands - i.e. postgresql.conf.auto. But I think it's supposed to
give information about all configuration files, regardless of how
generated. Am I wrong? If not, I'd suggest "run-time parameters that
are defined in configuration files via SQL" -> "run-time parameters
stored in configuration files".
