Indeed, values have to be specified after the equal sign of each
option, so applied what you are suggesting here.
-Db_coverage is part of the core options of meson because it is not
listed in meson_options.txt, no? Documenting the switch is fine, but
it seems like we lack contents here. The paragraph describing
-Db_coverage links to regress-coverage, still this only has
instructions for ./configure. Shouldn't we have some docs to show one
how to achieve the same with meson? I'd guess that a separate section
for meson would make the most sense, for as long as we support both
methods in parallel.
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Meson tells nothing about that, for
one.
