The difference is that the other places don't really need it, i.e. you can just issue two DROP TABLE. (And I wasn't even aware that DROP TABLE a, b; exists specifically). That said, it's great to have the feature, though I'd say making search_path list-aware should be much higher on the todo list than a generic solution for other cases. > I've thought about adding "$user" to the set of completed things as If we only support one item atm, $user isn't very relevant anyway. > Fujii wondered about it, but it turns out completions containing $ don't > work really great because $ is part of WORD_BREAKS. > E.g. check out what happens if you do > CREATE TABLE "foo$01"(); > CREATE TABLE "foo$02"(); > DROP TABLE "foo$<tab> > which means that a single schema that requires quoting will break > completion of "$user". Schemas requiring quoting should be rare, so that wouldn't be a big problem. (Or at least it could solve the problem for most users.)
