For most settings, that column would just be a duplicate. For a
handful, it would pull in the value of some other GUC. If somebody
finds that useful, cool, they can write a view that does it and
install it on their own cluster. I don't think that it makes a lot of
sense to put it in core, though. My guess would be that more people
would be annoyed or confused by the extra column than would be pleased
or enlightened by it. I could of course be wrong.
