Where do you get the value from to build the tuple?

Where is it stored? If it is stored per-session, I mean
struct-session, then my comment is still valid.

I'm not challenging the implementation details (I did not read the
patch indeed), I am challenging the semantics. 

The view is called _vsession_settings, so I assume its state
(semantically) is local to each database connection, to which I
objected.
