Hm. I remember why it doesn't pay attention to the per-user and
per-database settings (if they're screwed up, you might have no
way to get in and fix 'em). But that argument doesn't apply to
postgresql.conf, since you can always fix it with a text editor.
This might just be an oversight. Peter, any comments?
