Objective here is to those ones who know what it is, but don't remember its default.

That seems a somewhat arbitrary goal for us to optimize for. I just read through https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-query.html and while perhaps some of the defaults could be slightly more prominent, none of them took more than a second of brain-cpu-power to find. The only one that threw me off was join_collapse_limit, which really should just state the eight. So for me a -1 for major changes, but a weak +1 to improving some individual items.

Cheers,
Greg
