begun by commit e529cd4ffa60, I would
like to propose a do-what-I-mean mode for psql. Please find a POC

postgres=# select datnaam from pg_database where ooid = 12917;
ERROR: column "datnaam" does not exist
LINE 1: select datnaam from pg_database where ooid = 12917;

HINT: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "pg_database.datname".
postgres=# YES
datname

postgres

I think it is potentially confusing that YES and NO does not look like
other psql commands. Let's pick something which is more in line with
existing commands like \y and \n.
