What about putting pg_settings documentation at the bottom of:
->Administrators Guide
->Server run-time environment
->run-time configuration
just before the Planner and optimizer tuning subsection?
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/runtime-config.html
I think at some point there should be a consolidated section on system
views, but since they are scattered at the moment, this seems like the
most logical choice to me. Comments?
