Meh --- it'd be different from the way we do it in the rest
of initdb, and it would not be "less code". Maybe it'd run
a shade faster, but I refuse to believe that that'd be
enough to matter.

Hm. I'd hoped for at least a little bit bigger win. But

I tried it like that (full patch attached) and the results are
intensely disappointing. On my Mac laptop, the time needed for
50 iterations of initdb drops from 16.8 sec to 16.75 sec.
On my RHEL8 workstation, the change is act

Hmm. I was thinking of inventing an include-file command in the
BKI language, and making initdb just send an INCLUDE command.

Cool!

Here's an initial patch that gets rid of the need for initdb to
change the contents of postgres.bki before feeding it to the
bootstrap backend. After this, we could look at having the
backend read the file directly.
I don't really detect any speed change from getting rid of initdb's
string manipu

Hi,
[1] reminded me of a topic that I wanted to bring up at some point:
To me the division of labor between initdb and bootstrap doesn't make much
sense anymore:
initdb reads postgres.bki, replaces a few tokens, starts postgres in bootstrap
mode, and then painstakenly feeds bootstrap.bki lines
