1) Is it worthwhile to expand the information stored in the GUC structure to
make it better capable of supporting machine generation and to provide more

shouldn't be included remains controversial; consider "default value",
"per-session/runtime/restart", and "enum lists" as the list of things that are
most needed there.
Isn't that a list of what's *already* there?
I should have been clearer there. Some of the items suggested are already
in the structure, but aren't visible via pg_settings. In those cases it's
just exporting information that's already there. In others (like the
suggestion to add a URL to the documentation) it is actually a new field
being added as well as its corresponding entry in the settings view.
