I should have been clearer there. Some of the items suggested are already
in the structure, but aren't visible via pg_settings. In those cases it's
just exporting information that's already there. In others (like the
suggestion to add a URL to the documentation) it is actually a new field
being added as well as its corresponding entry in the settings view.
