We could have a stack to store parameters before temporary
changes, for instance if you want to do one csv export and
come back to normal without assuming what "normal"
values were.
\pset push format csv_fieldsep
\pset format csv
\pset csv_fielsep '\t'
some command \g somefile
\pset pop
So \pset pop would reset the pushed parameters
to their values when pushed, which also could be all
parameters:
\pset push all
\pset param1 something
\pset param2 something-else
...other commands...
\pset pop
or
\pset push all
\i somescript.sql
\pset pop
Best regards,
