As this new file (postgresql.conf.auto) will not be edited by users, so it
might not be
difficult to handle it, as the code will now the exact format of file.
The problem can be there if we need to parse postgresql.conf to set/reset
values, as for that
the format is not fixed. However that is taken care by having 2 files.
Please point me, if I misunderstood the difficulty raised by you.
