I'm still in favor of some syntax involving ALTER, because it's still
true that this behaves more like the existing GUC-setting commands
that use ALTER (which change configuration for future sessions) rather
the ones that use SET (which change the current settings for some
period of time).

But I can't speak for people who are not me.
