Okay, I have looked at 0001 this morning and applied it down to 12.
The change in GetConfigOptionByNum() is not required in 10 and 11, as
the strings of pg_show\all_settings() have begun to be translated in
12~.

And I've learnt today that we enforce a definition of __has_attribute
at the top of c.h, and that we already rely on that. So I agree that
what you are doing in 0002 should be enough. Should we wait until 16~
opens for business though? I don't see a strong argument to push
forward with that now that we are in beta mode on HEAD.
