+ This feature was designed to allow parameters not normally known to
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> to be added by add-on modules
+ (such as procedural languages). This allows extension modules to be
+ configured in the standard ways.
+ </p><p>
+ Custom options have two-part names: an extension name, then a dot, then
+ the parameter name proper, much like qualified names in SQL. An example
+ is <code class="literal">plpgsql.variable_conflict</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ Because custom options may need to be set in processes that have not
+ loaded the relevant extension module, <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
+ will accept a setting for any two-part parameter name. Such variables
+ are treated as placeholders and have no function until the module that
+ defines them is loaded. When an extension module is loaded, it will add
+ its variable definitions and convert any placeholder values according to
+ those definitions. If there are any unrecognized placeholders
+ that begin with its extension name, warnings are issued and those
+ placeholders are removed.
