current_setting() would produce the value you want to give back to SET
(or more likely set_config()). There's also current_schema() and
current_schemas() if you want a more digested form. See "System
Information Functions" and "System Administration Functions" in TFM.
It might also be that SET LOCAL would solve your problem with less fuss.
