My first though was to print something like \set output, but why not
reuse the original code/output when \pset is used ?

This second choice has three main advantages :

     * Information shown is the same everywhere
     * Backward compatibility with \pset output
     * Avoid code redundancy

About shortcut I'm agree with Pavel that it is less readable and already
in the help, \? is the big reminder :-)
