Re: [PATCHES] Better psql tab-completion support for schemas and tables

 Full support for all schema and table name combinations when 
 getting a list of attributes. All of the following will now work:

 select * from information_schema.columns where tab
 select * from foo where tab
 select * from user where tab
 select * from foo where tab
 select * from Uppercase.lower where tab
 select * from gtsm.com.foo.Bar where tab
 select * from GTSM.com.foo where tab

Applied with minor revisions.  I noticed while testing this that
although you fixed it for the case of the user having unnecessarily
quoted the preceding name, for example given a table foo,

update foo set tab

it's still not bright about letting you complete such an entry in the
first place -- try

update ftab

That doesn't invalidate this patch, but there's still more work to do
on the completion queries.

 Also applies to other places that get lists of columns: insert into,
 alter table, create index, etc.
