Thank you for your review!
 I agree with your suggestion and have updated the patch accordingly.

I'm sorry for not explaining it clearly.

Currently, TO or FROM could be suggested immediately after FOREIGN SERVER, but
only when no foreign servers are defined. When foreign servers do exist,
their names are correctly suggested instead, as expected.

The patch fixed the behavior so that TO or FROM are not suggested after FOREIGN SERVER,
even when no foreign servers are defined. However, I've started to wonder if it's worth
fixing such a corner case. What do you think?
