+1 to show the information even if linestyle is not set but by default
get_line_style() return "ascii" if linestyle is not set. So maybe it is
better to  rewrite it as follow:

    else if (strcmp(param, "linestyle") == 0)
    {
            printf(_("Line style is %s.\n"),
                   get_line_style(&popt->topt)->name);
    }

This will output:

    Line style is ascii.

when linestyle is not set or of course it is set to ascii.

Yes this could be a good accommodation but I really prefer to not
duplicate code and translation between this resume and the output when
these options are set. If we can print the same output messages using:

    postgres=# \pset fieldsep '|'
    Field separator (fieldsep) is "|".

it could be a good compromise.
