Fwiw I like \rotate. It's pretty clear what it means and it sounds
similar to but not exactly the same as pivot.rotate ~ sounds like transpose matrix, what is not true in this case.
So? If PostgreSQL had any native matrix processing capabilities this would maybe warrant a bit of consideration.
\unfold
\rotate
Given the role that psql performs I do think \rotate to be the least problematic choice; I concur that avoiding \pivot is desirable due to SQL's usage.
