But you're presuming something that not everybody agrees with, which
is that this situation should be considered unexpected.
In particular, in order to consider it unexpected, you have to suppose
that the content rules for postgresql.auto.conf are different from those
for postgresql.conf (wherein we clearly allow last-one-wins). Can you
point to any user-facing documentation that says that?
