Hi,

So, if I have a contrib module which adds in a custom guc via
DefineCustomIntVariable() for example. Now that custom guc is not visible
via a show command unless that corresponding .so has been loaded into
memory.

E.g.

postgres=# show pg_buffercache.fancy_custom_guc;
ERROR:  unrecognized configuration parameter
"pg_buffercache.fancy_custom_guc"

Should we do something about this or we are ok with the current behavior? I
would prefer to get to see the config parameter value if I so happen to
want to see it before the load of that contrib module. Thoughts?

Regards,
Nikhils
