Right. There is a separate proposal on the table to make more of the
guc.c tabular information visible in the pg_settings view, so that
clients of a running database can get at it. That's independent of what
you're doing though. See pgsql-patches a day or two back, and
discussion a little before that on (I think) pgsql-general.
