This'd be a fine starting project IMHO, if you can read/code C at all.
The rubber meets the road in exec_command() in src/bin/psql/command.c
--- look around in that area.  In particular note that ParseVariableBool
in variables.c probably ought to be what you use to interpret the
meaning of the argument.
