I'm not sure why you'd need a parameter for the function.  The function
could back a view too.  In general, I think you're agreeing with me that
it'd be a useful capability to have.

Right, we also need a view (or function, or both) which provides what
the *active* configuration of the running postmaster is.  This is
exactly what I was proposing (or what I was intending to, at least) with
pg_hba_active, so, again, I think we're in agreement here.

	Thanks,
