I don't see how to have internal commands without having special cases
for the setting, and I did propose "pg_archive_bypass" as the name. I
guess the implementation would be what Simon was talking about, though.

I don't see "true" as meaningful in the context of an archive_command…

Saying "its a kludge" doesn't really address the issue and goes nowhere
towards fixing it. If we don't like the proposal, fine, then what is the
alternative solution?
