Patch applied.  I will now go through and lowercase all the GUC
variable names, as agreed upon.

 This patch makes a few minor improvements to the docs: make the

 So, is upper-case or lower-case better? I'd personally prefer
 lower-case, I suppose, but I'm not too bothered either way.

If you want to change them all to lowercase, that would be fine by me.  At
least it would prevent more people being confused into inconsistencies in
the future.

There are significantly more than 2 uses of upper-case GUC names in the
docs (more like 10 by my guess), but in any case, the current usage is
inconsistent.

So, is upper-case or lower-case better? I'd personally prefer
lower-case, I suppose, but I'm not too bothered either way.

 Huh?  We have been uppercasing GUC variable names in most places
 already.

 Currently, the documentation contains about 2 GUC variable names in upper
 case, the rest is lower case.  (The exception are the list headings in the
 main description in runtime.sgml, which are all upper case.  That is a bit
 inconsistent, but I think it's OK, because here they sort of serve as
 section titles.)

Okay, that seems reasonable.  Ignore my prior message --- I hadn't come
across this one yet.
