No, I can think of cases where someone might legitimately want to do
that, they're just pretty far out of mainstream usage.
We already have some variables that are GUC_NOT_IN_SAMPLE but not
GUC_DISALLOW_IN_FILE, so I don't see anything wrong with considering
client_encoding the same way.
(BTW, sometime we ought to get around to enforcing GUC_DISALLOW_IN_FILE...)
