Comment:

 We decided against it because the GUC can't be set using the "SET" syntax
 until after the dynamic module is loaded, and that doesn't happen until
 the first function is called. Could be worked around by providing the
 functionality via a set_blah() function instead of the SET syntax. Need to
 decide if we want this for real. I'm indifferent, except insofar as it
 makes things a little more complex to document.
