So you are suggesting to use
<primary><varname>xxx</varname> storage parameter</primary> for
reltoption and
<primary><varname>xxx</varname> configuration parameter</primary> for GUC?

If we do that, the following two lines are in the index.

xxx configuration parameter, XXX
xxx storage parameter, Storage Parameter

OTOH, originally I thought that the following style is smarter.

xxx
configuration parameter, XXX
storage parameter, Storage Parameter
