Not only that, but including "in the middle" would allow to flexibly
state what may be overridden by the "gui" and what not. And it is a
clean separation of mechanism (general include mechanism) and policy.
More complex schemes (a top-level postgresql.conf and a directory of
includable module-specific files postgresql.conf.d) would be imaginable
(mimicking a bit Debian's way to deal with such things).
On syntax: anything (current is fine by me :) but please not XML :-/
