Attached is a patch that enhances the "\h" capability in psql. I often
find myself typing a command and then wanting to get the syntax for
it. So I do a ctrl-a and add a \h: but psql does not recognize the
command, because I have stuff attached to it (e.g. "alter table
foobar"),
so I have to scroll over and delete everything except the name of the
command itself. This patch gives \h three chances to match: if nothing
matches the complete string (current behavior), it tries to match the
first two words (e.g. "ALTER TABLE"). If that fails, it tries to match
the first word (e.g. "DELETE").
