Store the information in guc_tables.c in a .dat file similar to the catalog data in src/include/catalog/, and generate a part of guc_tables.c from that. The goal is to make it easier to edit that information, and to be able to make changes to the downstream data structures more easily. (Essentially, those are the same reasons as for the original adoption of the .dat format.)
