I see these patches more as enhancements to psql tab-completion,
rather than fixes for clear oversights in the original commit.

For example, if tab-completion for ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES had
completely missed LARGE OBJECTS, that would be an obvious oversight.
But these patches go beyond that kind of issue.

That said, if others think it's appropriate to include them in v18
for consistency or completeness, I'm fine with that.

Regarding the 0002 patch:

-	else if (Matches("GRANT", MatchAnyN, "ON", MatchAny, MatchAny))
-		COMPLETE_WITH("TO");
-	else if (Matches("REVOKE", MatchAnyN, "ON", MatchAny, MatchAny))
-		COMPLETE_WITH("FROM");
+	else if (Matches("GRANT/REVOKE", MatchAnyN, "ON", MatchAny, MatchAny))
+	{
+		if (TailMatches("FOREIGN", "SERVER"))
+			COMPLETE_WITH_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_servers);
+		else if (!TailMatches("LARGE", "OBJECT"))
+		{
+			if (Matches("GRANT", MatchAnyN, "ON", MatchAny, MatchAny))
+				COMPLETE_WITH("TO");
+			else
+				COMPLETE_WITH("FROM");
+		}
+	}

Wouldn't this change break the case where "GRANT ... ON TABLE ... <TAB>"
is supposed to complete with "TO"?
