I for one would rather it didn't do that. I already set my postmaster
command lines the way I want 'em, and I don't want the code overriding
that. (I prefer to use explicit -p arguments to distinguish the various
postmasters I have running --- shorter and easier to read than explicit
-D would be. At least for me.)
