+ * name and a string value.  The value can't be NULL, or more precisely
+ * that's not distinguishable from the variable being unset.

+ * Variables can be given "assign hook" functions.  The assign hook can
+ * prevent invalid values from being assigned, and can update internal C
+ * variables to keep them in sync with the variable's current value.
+ *
+ * An assign hook function is called before any attempted assignment, with the
+ * proposed new value of the variable (or with NULL, if an \unset is being
+ * attempted).  If it returns false, the assignment doesn't occur --- it
+ * should print an error message with pg_log_error() to tell the user why.
+ *
+ * When an assign hook function is installed with SetVariableHooks(), it is
+ * called with the variable's current value (or with NULL, if it wasn't set
+ * yet).  But its return value is ignored in this case.  The hook should be
+ * set before any possibly-invalid value can be assigned.

+ * Variables can also be given "substitute hook" functions.  The substitute
+ * hook can replace values (including NULL) with other values, allowing
+ * normalization of variable contents.  For example, for a boolean variable,
+ * we wish to interpret "\unset FOO" as "\set FOO off", and we can do that
+ * by installing a substitute hook.  (We can use the same substitute hook
+ * for all bool or nearly-bool variables, which is why this responsibility
+ * isn't part of the assign hook.)
+ *
+ * The substitute hook is called before any attempted assignment, and before
+ * the assign hook if any, passing the proposed new value of the variable as a
+ * malloc'd string (or NULL, if an \unset is being attempted).  It can return
+ * the same value, or a different malloc'd string, or modify the string
+ * in-place.  It should free the passed-in value if it's not returning it.
+ * The substitute hook generally should not complain about erroneous values;
+ * that's a job for the assign hook.
+ *
+ * When a substitute hook is installed with SetVariableHooks(), it is applied
+ * to the variable's current value (typically NULL, if it wasn't set yet).
+ * That also happens before applying the assign hook.
