All this discussion seems to me to be going off into the clouds,
where every objection is met with some still more elaborate scheme. I
think we need to look at simple, incremental, and if possible
backwards compatible changes.
The simplest solution I can think of is:
Have a table pg_configuration (pg_settings?).
Allow that table to be inserted into but not updated or deleted from.

This pretty much kills the ability for people who *want* to edit things
from the config file only, right? I don't think that's acceptable. At least
not if it's at all avoidable, which I think it is.
I did mention in a reply that it could be optional :).
