Currently, config.sgml still describes the new "enum" GUC variables as being of type "string" --- but pg_settings says they are "enum". This is not very consistent, but I wonder whether changing the docs would be more confusing or less so. I note that section 18.1 doesn't mention the enum alternative either.
