I think I was the one who put in that suggestion (which I agree has been
largely ignored subsequently). The motivation was to avoid cluttering
the tab completion facility with seldom-used parameters. As an example,
the presence of the "stats_xxx" parameters in the tab list means more
keystrokes are needed to type "statement_timeout". Seems like this is a
bad tradeoff considering that people would rarely bother to look at the
stats settings.
I'm not by any means wedded to the "USERSET and possibly SUSET" policy,
but I would like to stop somewhere short of "include everything". Any
thoughts?
