That all sounds nice, but unless you intend to fix all the constraints
that force some values to be set-only-at-postmaster-start, it's never
going to be possible to promise that a reload has the same effect as
restarting the server. We could do this for values that are not
PGC_POSTMASTER, but the argument given above for doing it is bogus.
