ISTM the idea of a token in the value string that would expand to an
existing setting s/b general purpose enough to allow for prepend/append
and not require adding a new opperator as += or whatever.

I think someone already suggest this upthread.
shared_preload_libraries = '%,more_libs'
shared_preload_libraries = 'more_libs,%'
At conclusion of file processing, stripping off an unnecessary delimiter
at beginning or end of string would be a nice asthetic feature and/or
might be required depending on whether an empty list value is legal.
