It sounds like there's other places where multiline GUCs would be 
useful, so I think we should just support that instead of creating 
something that only works for SR configuration.

I also don't see the problem with supporting multi-line GUCs that are 
wrapped in quotes. Yes, you miss a quote and things blow up, but so 
what? Anyone that's done any amount of programming has faced that 
problem. Heck, if we wanted to be fancy we could watch for the first 
line that could have been another GUC and stick that in a hint.
