This is a fair position, and since that's how the feature as written
right now works that helps. I think proceeding this way needs to hand
some sort of hint back to the user though, telling them the change isn't
active until SIGHUP. The path I don't want to see if where someone uses
SET PERSISTENT and can't figure out why nothing changed. It should be
as obvious as we can make it to someone that the explicit reload is
necessary.
