[ Should have read more carefully ]
..  Which is something you cannot do with -C because mmap() happens
after the runtime-computed logic for postgres -C.  It does not sound
right to do the mmap() for a GUC check, so indeed a function may be
more adapted rather than move mmap() call a bit earlier in the
postmaster startup sequence.
