  1. [PATCH v6 3/5] Improve tab completion for RESET

    Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org> — 2025-08-08T22:06:36Z

    Only complete variables that have been set in the current session,
plus the keywords ALL, ROLE and SESSION (which will subsequently be
completed with AUTHORIZATION).

Because the TailMatches() is now only for "SET" we can also get rid of
the guard against ALTER DATABASE|USER|ROLE ... RESET and keywords that
only apply to RESET, as well as TABLESPACE, which never should have
been offered.
