Are you advocating for that option, or just calling out that it's
possible? I'd say that's closely related to option #3, except at
initdb time rather than run-time - and it might be preferable to #3
for some of the same reasons discussed on the thread about tuning
work_mem, namely, that having it change from one postmaster lifetime
to the next might lead to user astonishment.
