Obviously I am not understanding you. I thought you were looking for
\pset C to be documented, and to work:

test=> \pset C test
Title is "test".

That does not work in the current sources, so I had to add it. This is
similar to how "\pset t" works as an alias for "\pset tuples_only":

test=> \pset t
Tuples only is on.

When our docs say:

<term><literal>tuples_only</literal> (or <literal>t</literal>)</term>

it is not talking about using \t, but rather "\pset t" --- perhaps that
is where the confusion is coming from. (Yeah, I know it is kind of
odd.)
