It seems to me that we shouldn't copy them, but I'm having a hard time
putting a finger on why exactly.  I guess it goes along with the fact
that we don't copy the database's owner, and any per-database variable
settings seem to me to be the database owner's decision to make.

Also I refer you to the point made in the manual that CREATE DATABASE is
not intended to be a COPY DATABASE facility.
