Yeah, Magnus was suggesting this syntax:
ALTER TABLE foo SET toast_autovacuum_enable = false;
and the like.
My question is whether there is interest in actually having support for
this, or should we just inherit the settings from the main table. My
gut feeling is that this may be needed in some cases, but perhaps I'm
overengineering the thing.
