I think the only thing missing is that in the introduction to section
16.4, where it says "The configuration file is reread whenever the
postmaster process receives a SIGHUP signal", we should add something
along the line of "Some parameters can only be set at server start;
any changes to their entries in the configuration file will be ignored
until the server is restarted".  While a reasonable person could
probably figure that out ;-) it would not hurt to say it explicitly.
