thanks for applying!
While I know that we have never guaranteed backwards-compatibility for
psql's backslash commands (or for tab-complete either) I modeled this
after the \db-tablespace code. Removing it altogether is fine too :-)
Any particular reason why you dropped the SET SCHEMA <tab> part of my
patch ?
