As far as consistency goes, this behavior is consistent with other
PostgreSQL-using packages (that I have had a hand in), e.g., libpqxx. While
the dichotomy between options and variables is certainly not comprehensible
to the casual user, I'd hesitate to make up new stuff for the purpose of
spelling things differently. As long as it's documented, it should be OK.
