Hi,

Euler Taveira is arguing in an autovacuum thread that we should give
"storage parameters" a different name; his argument is that
"autovacuum_enabled" is not really a parameter that relates to storage.
He is proposing "relation parameters".

I am against the idea of renaming them, for two reasons: 1. it's a
user-visible change that doesn't seem to buy a lot; 2. it's a tedious
patch to write.

Can I get some votes?  If you think they should be renamed but to a
different name than "relation parameters", please state what that is
too.
