The fact that Postgres already

already know something about this.
We support what?
Postgres has "COMMENT ON ..." SQL for various database objects and I assumed
that said comments would be stored in the system catalog.

The solution to this is simple, and was previously discussed on this list:
(a) have a postgresql.conf.auto
(b) add a default include for postgresql.conf.auto at the beginning of
PostgreSQL.conf
(c) SQL updates go to postgresql.conf.auto, which consists only of
"setting = value" in alphabetical order.
(d) We document that settings which are changed manually in
postgresql.conf will override postgresql.conf.auto.
(e) $$profit$$!!
I agree that this looks like an effective solution.
