I think the whole list of read-only options on the SHOW reference page
is redundant and incomplete. A more complete list is at <sect1
id="runtime-config-preset"> in config.sgml. This includes
server_version and server_encoding, but not is_superuser. Maybe that's
an omission? I think we should get rid of the list on the SHOW
reference page.
