I noticed that psql tab-completes every possible session-settable variable after RESET, not just the ones that have actually been set in the current session. However, as I was fixing that I noticed several other deficiencies around other forms of SET/RESET. So, here's the resulting yak stack.
These technical changes seem fine, but I haven't looked in detail. But I want to say that I don't like this proposed behavior change at all. I don't think tab completion should filter out by things that are probably not interesting or useful depending on session state. That could be very confusing, especially since there is no surface to explain this anywhere. The obvious extreme case is that RESET in a fresh session wouldn't offer any completions at all.
