It isn't, and isn't likely to become so, at least not for C code.
We generally think of the C code as being at a lower level than SQL.
If we rename a global variable that underlies a GUC variable, it's
probably because we *want* to break any C code that references it
--- perhaps the semantics are changing, or something like that.
