Thread: psql command setting

Recent patch allowed \timing [on|off]

This patch allows same option on all remaining toggles, so every option
works in the same way. We now have the ability to do
\a [on|off]
\H [on|off]

Patch also corrects help, which didn't show that \x and \t could already
be directly set, even though help said they were toggles.

We already discussed that and rejected it, because the remaining toggles
aren't really toggles.

If it *acts* like a toggle and the help *says* its a toggle, then its
"actual toggleness" seems moot.

At the very least we should document the two toggles that are already
settable, with the attached patch.
