Hello

I am looking to your patch:

I have only one note. I don't think so using any text for values
"true" and "false" is good idea. I don't see a sense of any special
texts like "foo", "bar" from your example.

More strict design is better - I wrote simple modification - it is
based on psql psets - and it add new configuration settings "boolstyle
[char|word]". A advantage of this design is consistency  and possible
autocomplete support.

Regards

Pavel

Bool output style is word.
