I think you're going to end up un-merging the routines. There is no way
to pass an extra parameter to the set/check routines (at least not
without uglifying all the rest of the GUC code). The design premise is
that the per-variable hook routines know what they're supposed to do,
and in that case this means one hook for each variable.
