I played with this a bit and found that "... (attr=[tab]" (no
space between "r" and "=") complets with '='. Isn't it annoying?

Only "UPDATE hoge SET a=[tab]" behaves the same way among
existing completions.

Hmm.  True.  Here's one way to fix that.

Thanks. That's what was in my mind.

Some definition item names are induced from some current states
(e.g. "CREATE TYPE name AS RANGE (" => "SUBTYPE = ") but I think
it's too much.

COLLATE is not suggested with possible collations but I think
suggesting it is not so useful.

PASSEDBYVALUE is suggested with '=', which is different from
documented syntax but I don't think that's not such a problem for
those who spell this command out.

# By the way, collatable and preferred are boolean which behaves
# the same way with passedbyvalue. Is there any intention in the
# difference in the documentation?

The completion lists contain all possible words correctly (I
think "analyse" is an implicit synonym.).

As the result, I find it perfect.

regards.

I pushed a fix for that separately.  I remembered that we had decided
to use MatchAnyExcept("...") instead of "!...", so I did it that way.

Yes, there is room to make it smarter.

Good question.

I am not a fan of doing anything at all to support alternative
spellings for keywords etc, even though I personally use British
spelling in most contexts outside PostgreSQL source code.  We don't
support MATERIALISED, CATALOGUE, BACKWARDS/FORWARDS (with an S), etc,
so I don't know why we have this one single word ANALYSE from a
different spelling system than the one used by SQL.

Pushed.  Thanks for the review!
