If you look at pg_settings, there is a minimum value exposed there as
min_val. For some of these parameters, that number would normally be
1. But since we have decided that 0 is a special flag value, min_val is
0 instead.
There are others where min_val is -1 for the same reason, where
functionally the minimum is really 0. Some of us would like to see
min_val reflect the useful minimum, period, and move all these special
case ones out of there. That is a multi-year battle to engage in
though, and there's little real value to the user community coming out
of it relative to that work scope.
