Dumped by what? It's a PGC_POSTMASTER variable, there ain't gonna be nobody putting it in ALTER DATABASE or ALTER USER.
Oh yeah, sorry wasn't thinking. Same reason I don't bother handling preload_libraries and friends in pg_dumpall...
The problem is there's no way to know if they're list type gucs when dumping, unless we modify the pg_settings view or something.
Yeah, it might be nice to have an API to get at those flag bits.
Will become more annoying once we have a binary dump format for pg_dumpall I guess, have to store them in the binary.
