You'd have to repeat the whole command for each option to be changed,
which given the amount of typing involved seems a bit unpleasant.
There are also historical differences between what is allowed by
the SET var = value syntax and what is allowed in the
parenthesized-option-list syntax. Introducing an inconsistency between
ALTER and CREATE doesn't seem appetizing.
(BTW, does anyone want to teach psql's tab-completion about the new
text search statements?)
