Re: << unrecognized configuration parameter "pg_stat_statements.track" >>

Thank you, Andres.

What a doozie! Documenting such a requirement in such a fashion (at the end

cryptodocumentation. Perhaps someone with wisdom will see fit to move the
relevant paragraph to the top of the "Configuration parameters" section,
instead of at the end.
