No objection in principle, but what are we talking about exactly?
Adding some new backslash command that lists all the variables that have
special meanings?  I'm not sure that the main --help output is the place
for this, because that only covers psql's command line switches (and
is plenty long enough already).

Hard to say -

a special long option in "General option" can be clean.

or new section "Tips"

Tips:
      -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1   stops on first error
