Am I correct in that we still don't have any docs for this even if we
decided to accept the GUC? On that basis, I'd say accept the DEFINE and
punt the GUC to the next 9.5 Commitfest ... assuming someone wants to
write docs.
Heck, I might write them after some testing. But that testing won't
happen in time for 9.4 release. I certainly couldn't write the docs now.
