Yeah.  And a randomly generated logging identity.  Also they can be a
different size and have different tuning (but not different
max_connections, that's the one exception to the rule, but it's the
only one I've seen so far).

One should try a restore-and-start at least once to flush it out, no?
It doesn't have a subtle failure mode.  It's discoverable.  And in the
worst case one is make the config if one employs laxity in this area.

Send a patch if you want, but you are the first complainant and I have
to be judicious about what information can be exhaustively placed in
the README.  It's already losing the crispness for users of any one
storage backend already.
