 * Certain options can only be set at certain times. The rules are
 * like this:
 *
 * INTERNAL options cannot be set by the user at all, but only through
 * internal processes ("server_version" is an example).  These are GUC
 * variables only so they can be shown by SHOW, etc.
 *
 * POSTMASTER options can only be set when the postmaster starts,
 * either from the configuration file or the command line.
 *
 * SIGHUP options can only be set at postmaster startup or by changing
 * the configuration file and sending the HUP signal to the postmaster
 * or a backend process. (Notice that the signal receipt will not be
 * evaluated immediately. The postmaster and the backend check it at a
 * certain point in their main loop. It's safer to wait than to read a
 * file asynchronously.)
 *
 * BACKEND and SU_BACKEND options can only be set at postmaster startup,
 * from the configuration file, or by client request in the connection
 * startup packet (e.g., from libpq's PGOPTIONS variable).  SU_BACKEND
 * options can be set from the startup packet only when the user is a
 * superuser.  Furthermore, an already-started backend will ignore changes
 * to such an option in the configuration file.  The idea is that these
 * options are fixed for a given backend once it's started, but they can
 * vary across backends.
 *
 * SUSET options can be set at postmaster startup, with the SIGHUP
 * mechanism, or from the startup packet or SQL if you're a superuser.
 *
 * USERSET options can be set by anyone any time.

 * The following type records the source of the current setting.  A
 * new setting can only take effect if the previous setting had the
 * same or lower level.  (E.g, changing the config file doesn't
 * override the postmaster command line.)  Tracking the source allows us
 * to process sources in any convenient order without affecting results.
 * Sources <= PGC_S_OVERRIDE will set the default used by RESET, as well
 * as the current value.
 *
 * PGC_S_INTERACTIVE isn't actually a source value, but is the
 * dividing line between "interactive" and "non-interactive" sources for
 * error reporting purposes.
 *
 * PGC_S_TEST is used when testing values to be used later.  For example,
 * ALTER DATABASE/ROLE tests proposed per-database or per-user defaults this
 * way, and CREATE FUNCTION tests proposed function SET clauses this way.
 * This is an interactive case, but it needs its own source value because
 * some assign hooks need to make different validity checks in this case.
 * In particular, references to nonexistent database objects generally
 * shouldn't throw hard errors in this case, at most NOTICEs, since the
 * objects might exist by the time the setting is used for real.
 *
 * When setting the value of a non-compile-time-constant PGC_INTERNAL option,
 * source == PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT should typically be used so that the value
 * will show as "default" in pg_settings.  If there is a specific reason not
 * to want that, use source == PGC_S_OVERRIDE.
 *
 * NB: see GucSource_Names in guc.c if you change this.
