I would suggest we either alter pg_settings so that we display value *only* when source=default (set NULL otherwise) or we do some extra work to derive what the setting would be if we ran RESET. The latter would be preferred approach.
Since getting the value out when the source!=default is exactly the point for the applications I was talking about, I'll rewrite the patch to expose the reset_val as well and resubmit shortly.
Thanks for the feedback, your comments helped clarify the use-case for reset_val a bit better for me and I'll be sure to document the two columns appropriately. One perspective I don't get to see very often is that of a regular user adjusting their settings.
