Considering Postgres will never user either "meter" or "mile"
in settings, I don't consider your argument valid.
I don't see the value of having units globally unique (literally).
It's enough if they unique in the context of postgresql.conf.
Thus +1 of having additional shortcuts Tom suggested.
Also +1 for having them case-insensitive.
Agreed. Although I suggest perhaps to not press for "m" as minutes,
because it really is ambiguous for "months" or "minutes", esp. in a
context like "log_rotation_age".
Please lets have the unambiguous abbreviations. Please lets make it all
case-insensitive. After all this discussion, what about a straight
forward vote? Bruce, we had those before, no?
