I think so, but haven't tested. The docs would need some correction
perhaps.

BTW, I notice that the code allows people to fool with
autovacuum_analyze_threshold and related parameters for toast tables,
which seems rather pointless since we never analyze toast tables.
So the fillfactor isn't really the only instance of the issue.

Maybe a better solution is to have some kind of notion of a default-only
entry, which is sufficient to insert the default into the struct but
isn't accepted as a user-settable item.
