I believe there will be more in the future. However, given that the
replication section isn't exactly overpopulated, I think we could
consolidate.

My preference would be to have:

# REPLICATION

# - Master Settings -
# these settings affect the master role in replication
# they will be ignored on the standby

... settings ...

# - Standby Settings -
# these settings affect the standby role in replication
# they will be ignored on the master

... settings ...

That's how I've been setting up the file for my customers; it's fairly
clear and understandable.
