BUG #1348: Wishlist: \pset expanded with value

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1348
Logged by:          Brad Bowman

PostgreSQL version: 7.2.1

Operating system:   Debian linux

Description:        Wishlist: \pset expanded with value

Details: 


I hope this is an appropriate forum for this request.
Apologies if I got it wrong.

Within psql:
 \pset expanded 1 

ignores the value parameter, as expected from
the documentation.  This means that I can't set it
to a known value in scripts run with \i.


Thanks
