I think the use-case is a bit narrow: saving a few characters typing
on a command not everyone uses very often (I don't), at the expense of
adding yet another command to remember. Plus it opens the floodgates
to people wanting yet more separate commands for other possibly
commonly-used SET commands. There are a lot of GUCs, after all, even
counting only those changeable at runtime.
