The brute-force solution is to duplicate guc-file.l.
That seems pretty ugly but in the long run it might be the most
maintainable solution. We eventually gave up trying to have a
cut-rate SQL lexer in psql, and duplicated parser/scan.l.
Might be best to just go for that solution up front in this case.
