I think the whole list of read-only options on the SHOW reference page 
is redundant and incomplete.  A more complete list is at <sect1 
id="runtime-config-preset"> in config.sgml.  This includes 
server_version and server_encoding, but not is_superuser.  Maybe that's 
an omission?  I think we should get rid of the list on the SHOW 
reference page.
