Right: if the variable is "on", Postgres will "create new tables with
OIDs by default". If the variable is "off", it won't. This is similar to
how the check_function_bodies GUC var is already documented.

(Speaking of which, it would be good if the descriptions of the GUC
variables were more consistent with one another. Some say that a
variable "Sets the threshold of FROM items beyond which GEQO will be
used", for example, whereas others merely state what the variable
controls -- e.g. "Encrypt passwords".)
