However, keep in mind that units are _not_ displayed for zero values:

	test=> show statement_timeout;
	 statement_timeout
	-------------------
	 0
	(1 row)
	
	test=> set statement_timeout = 100;
	SET
	test=> show statement_timeout;
	 statement_timeout
	-------------------
	 100ms
	(1 row)

because of this test in guc.c:

                    else if (use_units && result > 0 &&
                             (record->flags & GUC_UNIT_TIME))

pg_settings does show the units.  Changing this to display the units
might be odd since many zero values mean 'disabled'.
