I'm kind of down on this. It seems like forcing a bunch of
useless-in-production debug support into the standard build.
What of this would be of any use to any non-developer?
We have a bunch of other debug_* settings that are available in
production builds, such as
debug_print_parse
debug_print_rewritten
debug_print_plan
debug_pretty_print
debug_discard_caches
debug_io_direct
debug_parallel_query
debug_logical_replication_streaming
Maybe we could hide all of them behind some #ifdef DEBUG_OPTIONS, but in
any case, I don't think the ones being proposed here are substantially
different from those existing ones that they would require a separate
treatment.
My goal is to make these facilities easier to use, avoiding hand-editing
pg_config_manual.h and having to recompile.
