I think "as of" is not the right phrase here.
Maybe say: Exceptions are transaction_*

I guess it should say "if the GUC does not exist".

I'd say "...but none of the GUC's flags are exposed by this function."

"The most meaningful ones are included" doesn't seem to add anything.
Maybe it'd be useful to say "(Only the most useful flags are exposed)"

I think the description is wrong, or just copied from the others.
EXPLAIN is for GUCs which are shown in EXPLAIN(SETTINGS).

|EXPLAIN, parameters included in EXPLAIN commands.
|NO_SHOW_ALL, parameters excluded from SHOW ALL commands.
|NO_RESET_ALL, parameters excluded from RESET ALL commands.
|NOT_IN_SAMPLE, parameters not included in postgresql.conf by default.
|RUNTIME_COMPUTED, runtime-computed parameters. 

Instead of a comma, these should use a colon, or something else?
