I disagree that this can be a separate patch. Adding an option to not
allow certain GUCs from being modified through this mechanism should be
trivial. Then, *after* we have such utility that will allow users to
fix a bad situation, we can consider relaxing those restrictions to
allow more values to be set. I still contend that there will be some
GUCs that simply don't make any sense to have in the auto-conf area of
PGDATA.
