Strictly speaking, in the randomly defined grammer of psql, \gc is \g with an
argument of 'c' (try it, it works).
I'm not sure what use case you envision for this feature. Obviously, this is
for queries with large result sets. I'd guess that people will not normally
look at those result sets interactively. If the target audience is instead
psql scripting, you don't really need the most convenient command possible.
A \set variable would make sense to me.
