I think you will have to get much more specific than pg_ before tab
completion makes sense. You are still looking at hundreds of answers. The
example upthread could benefit from tab completion (pg_stat_st<TAB>) but
where does one programmatically draw the line? (digs around). Looks like
pg_<single-letter><TAB> could be useful - while pg_s has ~ 150 entries,
everything else is doable:
greg=# with alpha as (select chr(x) from generate_series(97,122) x)
select chr, count(*) from pg_proc, alpha where proname ~ ('pg_'||chr) group
by 1 order by 1;
chr | count
