Обсуждение: Rename standard_conforming_strings to standard_strings

I am having trouble remembering the name of the new GUC parameter,
"standard_conforming_strings".  I am thinking "standard_strings" is
clearer, and shorter.  I would like to rename this.  The parameter will
be new in 8.2.

Nevermind.  It was added in 8.1, but as a read-only variable, not in
postgresql.conf (which is why I missed it).   Too late to rename now.

The name is already out in places we can't easily change, eg the CVE
descriptions for the recent security issues.  Live with it.
