IMO the only reason why my proposal is sound is that is address the point. Consider: cat postgresql.conf.d/work_mem 16MB This database needs at least such a value. Note it's overridden in some ROLEs setup. With such a format (name is filename, value is first line content's, rest is comments), it's easy to preserve comments and have them machine editable. What do I miss?
