Hello,
the following patch changes "parameter" to "gucname" in the grammar
(and later references) for the SET syntax in ALTER ROLE and ALTER
USER. The rationale for this is that on #postgresql (IRC), we observe
many people trying to change the password for a role as follows:
ALTER ROLE blah SET PASSWORD = 'password';
(the correct syntax is "ALTER ROLE blah PASSWORD 'password';")
The confusion is induced by the usage of the word "parameter" and the
name of a section called "Parameters", which then lists the possible
non-GUC parameters. This apparently makes readers think that those are
the "parameters" that can be changed with above syntax.
