I agree with Robert that that is an utterly horrid, broken concept.
Just to point out one concrete problem: the postmaster reads
postgresql.conf too, so it would have to do this as well in order to
parse postgresql.conf correctly.
Please remove it. If you think of a non-broken way to do this later,
we can revisit the problem then.
