Hmm, possibly. But how would we document that? It seems strange to
say that the default is none, but the actual setting probably won't be
none on your system because we hack up postgresql.conf.
shared_buffers pretty much just glosses over the distinction between
"default" and "what you probably have configured", but I'm not sure
that's actually great policy.
Trivial fixed pushed, for now.
