Nonsense.
regression=# \set foo bar
regression=# \d foo
Did not find any relation named "foo".
regression=# \d :foo
Did not find any relation named "bar".
\copy is different because it uses OT_WHOLE_LINE mode to read the
argument, and that doesn't expand :variable references. I'd be a bit
leery of changing that.
