Yeah, you are right. Still, I don't see any reason to not include both.

This is a good idea, and makes the tests faster because there is no
need to test each GUC separately. While testing a bit more, I got
recalled by the fact that config_file is not marked as NOT_IN_SAMPLE
and not in postgresql.conf.sample, so the new case you suggested was
failing.

What do you think about the updated version attached? I have applied
the addition of config_data() separately.
