Subject: [9.3] Should we mention "set_config(...)" in 18.1.3 in Server Configuration?

Section 18.1.3 is named "18.1.3. Other Ways to Set Parameters" yet does not
reference the ability to use "set_config(...)" to make changes to
configuration parameters.

Something like (as a final sentence):

An alternative to the SQL "SET" command is to use the [link]set_config[link]
function.


Also, I would suggest modifying the function definitions in table 9-58 to
include the data types:

current_setting(setting_name text)
set_config(setting_name text, new_value text, is_local boolean)
