This new file postgresql.auto.conf will be created inside a new directory"config", so both will be in different directories.
Will there be any confusion with tab completion for different
directories?
Tab completion will not be confused, no.
But I think everything else will be. How will I know that some settings
have been set by ALTER SYSTEM and some by other means?
Sounds to me like a recipe for chaos. I hope nobody is calling for a commit
on this anytime soon. I think the whole thing needs some careful thought
and review before we commit this.
