The only real problem I see is that showing all the values as commentsWell even if you don't show them (and it would be most frustrating for users

The simple and obvious fix is to not show the values as comments ...
if you don't) it's certainly expected that commenting something out returns it
to the default value. It's how just about every other piece of software works.
I can lend my own experience as one data point that I was totally surprised
when I found out it didn't work the way I expected.
I was suprised too. I havn't tested yet, but do even other things act this way? I'm thinking mainly of pg_hba.conf which I didn't think did, but not sure.
pg_hba.conf doesn't have any default values ... if you change it all your old settings are blown away and the new settings get loaded. Commenting out a line does not leave the previous effect of that line in place (and it would be a major security problem if it did)
