You'd need to change a whole lot of places to respond to this request.
Frankly it sounds like wishful thinking to me. In many cases it's not
obvious whether a failure might be triggered by a GUC setting, and I
can't see dumping the whole content of postgresql.conf for any startup
failure.
I don't really believe Jaime's assumption anyway, which seems to be that
people will be too dumb to look at the include files when wondering what
value a setting has. We've not had reports of such when using the
existing inclusion mechanism.
