Just to be clear: you're proposing requiring that these be set the
same on master and slave? I don't have a problem with that, but
I do suggest that we must provide a mechanism to check it --- I don't
want DBAs to be faced with obscure failures when (not if) they
mess it up. Perhaps include the values in checkpoint WAL records?
