No, the reason for the distinction is that session_preload_libraries is
superuser-only, and can load anything, while local_preload_libraries is
(supposed to be) settable by ordinary users, and therefore is restricted
to load only a subset of available libraries. But if you can't apply it
via ALTER USER that seems like it takes away a lot of the value of having
a non-SUSET GUC in this area.
