So assuming we allowed units in postgresql.conf, how would you report
them with SHOW?
1. The way they were set (hard)
2. Without units (not user-friendly)
3. Always in base units (seconds or bytes)
4. The largest unit that gives an integer
(4) seems the most reasonable to me in terms of interface and
implementation.
