I am sort of on the fence about this. I am thinking that it would be good to expose this information, but *only* to superusers. It would not take much code to add a GUC variable flag bit that prevents non-superusers from examining the value of the GUC variable, and only a little more code to reflect the correct paths into these variables all the time.
On the basis that I can't see that anyone but the superuser has a legitimate interest in the info, this sounds good.
