You know, it suddenly strikes me that this is going in largely the wrong
direction. Wasn't a key part of the reasoning for the GUC units support
to *eliminate* the need for people to know what the underlying
variable's unit is? I certainly think that putting the unit info into
the text descriptions is a seriously bad idea. It makes an already
overly wide view even wider, and the information is 100% redundant with
the "unit" column of the pg_settings view.
