I just tried this with CVS:

    test=> show datestyle;
                   DateStyle
    ---------------------------------------
     ISO with US (NonEuropean) conventions
    (1 row)

    test=> set datestyle = 'ISO with US (NonEuropean) conventions';
    ERROR:  SET DATESTYLE: invalid list syntax

Am I missing something?
