I think I may have discovered a reason why is_superuser is intentionally undocumented. is_superuser is not updated if a role's superuser attribute is changed by another session. Therefore, is_superuser may show you an incorrect stale value. Perhaps this can be fixed with a show_hook? Otherwise it's probably best not to document a GUC that can show an incorrect value.
Or we can correct the description of is_superuser, for example, "True if the current role had superuser privileges when it connected to the database. Note that this parameter doesn't always indicate the current superuser status of the role."?
