Description:

18.14. Error Handling

If true, any error will terminate the current session. By default, this is
set to false, so that only FATAL errors will terminate the session.

​I suspect there are many other instances where the docs use "true/false"
to describe a boolean configuration variable while "show" displays
"on/off".  restart_after_crash on this same page is one easy to find
example.

​Is there actual confusion here or is this a matter of being exact?  false
== off when dealing with a boolean parameter as described at:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/config-setting.html#CONFIG-SETTING-NAMES-VALUES
