TBH, if I thought this specific warning was the only one that would ever
be there, I'd probably be arguing to reject this patch altogether.
Isn't the entire point to create a framework in which more tests will
be added later?

Also, adding GUC_LIST_INPUT later is not really cool since it changes
the parsing behavior for the GUC. If it's going to be a list, it should
be one from day zero.
