I changed it to 'Uses of this function must be documented in the list
of places affected by this GUC.', I am open to any suggestions.

I changed it to 'PGC_USERSET' now. My initial point was the database

some portion of the database with the copy and rest with the clone
could cause potential problems. After a bit of searching, I could not
find any problems related to that.
