OK, I think that I see the point you are coming at:
pg_stat_get_subscription (or stat tables) should not be used for
psql's tab completion. So gathering all things discussed, we have:
- No tab completion for publications.
- Fix the meta-commands.
- Addition of a view pg_subscriptions with all the non-sensitive data.
(- Or really extend pg_stat_subscriptions with the database ID and use
it for tab completion?)
Am I missing something?
