There is no such function. Are you referring to the GUC? I agree that it should
be added to the documentation. The main reason is that it is reported by
ParameterStatus along with some other GUCs described in the Preset Options
section.

postgres=# \dfS is_superuser
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type

postgres=# SHOW is_superuser;
is_superuser
--------------
on
(1 row)

Do you mind writing a patch?
