Is there a reason we require single quotes around boolean values in
recovery.conf?
standby_mode = 'off'
This does not work:
standby_mode = off
I knew there were inconsistencies between quoting in postgresql.conf and
recovery.conf, but I didn't realize it extended to boolean quoting. I
see this at the top of recovery.conf now:
# This file consists of lines of the form:## name = 'value'## (The quotes around the value are NOT optional, but the
"="is.)#
and this issue existed in 8.4 as well. Seems I just never noticed it,
and it not specifically mentioned in the TODO item we already have.
