I'm a little bit skeptical about this proposal, mostly because it
seems like it has the end result that values that are configured in
postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf end up being handled
differently: one file has to be copied by hand, while the other file's
contents are propagated forward to the new version by pg_dump. I don't
think that's what people are going to be expecting...
