Thanks :)

This was already implemented! :) For example:
LOG: attempted change of parameter "shared_buffers" ignored
DETAIL: This parameter cannot be changed after server start.
LOG: attempted change of parameter "max_prepared_transactions" ignored
DETAIL: This parameter cannot be changed after server start.
A thing that could be added, however, is reporting of all invalid (as
opposed to valid, but requires a restart to apply) parameters before
exiting. This change requires refactoring ProcessConfigFile() more
significantly, as the parsing and validity checks are done separately,
and are exited with gotos. :)
I haven't tried to change this yet, but was planning to.
