No, I don't suppose we do.. I was thinking we ran quote_ident() on the
search-string side, but apparently we don't, meaning:
select * from TE<tab>
doesn't find 'test'. I suppose it's alright to keep it that way.

You added the distinction that we have to watch out for embedded quotes.
Otherwise, I believe we had the same approach, which is to strip off a
leading quote, if there is one, and then compare the raw string directly
to relname using: LIKE 'xxx%'; If there is an embedded quote, go back
to using quote_ident and matching the whole string.
Thanks,
