Every so often I find myself trying to write

postgres -D ... --ssl

or

postgres -D ... --debug-print-plan

which fails, because you need to write --ssl=on or
--debug-print-plan=true etc.

Have others had the same experience? Would it be worth supporting the
case without value to default to on/true?
