Someone on IRC was confused by the contents of postgresql.conf:

#ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING
#debug_assertions = true
#endif

I have to say I was confused myself. The #ifdef and #end are merely
comments, while appears like that syntax is supported by PostgreSQL. I
think we should put just plain comments at the top of each section.
Objections?
