I do like using ALTER SYSTEM in general, but now that I think about it,
the 9.3 feature to create global settings in pg_db_role_setting would
also have been a candidate for exactly that same syntax if it had been
available. In fact, if we do add ALTER SYSTEM, it might make sense to
recast that feature into that syntax.

It might be clearer to do something like ALTER SYSTEM SET EXTERNAL FILE
or something like that. It's only a small syntax change, so don't worry
about it too much, but let's keep thinking about it.
