[HACKERS] pg_options.sample

[Tatsuo Ishii]

pg_options.sample coming with 7.0.x does not work because:

1) it exceeds 4096 bytes while read_pg_options() reads only first 4096
   bytes of it.

2) it allows spaces around "=" while parese_options() does not.

Apparently the sample file was brought in without enough testings when
7.0 was developed. What should we do now?

Should we fix pg_options code so that PostgreSQL accepts the sample
file?  Or just leave it and add a new entry to the FAQ?
