Robert, Could you describe the GUC you would like to see?

Also, I'd like to ask. what would be the argument against offering both options,
ALTER and a GUC to override the catalog, as currently proposed in the patch?

This conversation has been mainly GUC is better than ALTER, or vice versa.

It is clear, at least to me, there are merits in both approaches, so
what would be
the argument against making both options available ( maybe with a GUC that
could be more useful than a simple boolean )?
