Absolutely agreed :-). Total list of GUC and fully explanation each
of them is sufficient.
For "easy start", it might be a several postgresql.conf with
distribution, like mysql doing it,
or generate postgresql.conf by wizard-dialog before initdb starting, for
example.
But I think that all GUCs must present in configuration file.
