I am not completely sure what to think about this patch, but here are
some high-level comments.

+=item $node->icommand_checks(cmd, ...)
+
+=cut
+
+sub icommand_checks

Surely this can have a better description, like say
PostgresNode::command_checks_all.

Is Expect compatible down to perl 5.8.0 which is the minimum required
for the TAP tests (see src/test/perl/README)?

There are cases where we don't support tab completion, aka no
USE_READLINE. So tests would need to be skipped.

Why are you changing that? Your patch does not touch the logic of
psql. Could it make sense as a separate patch to shape better the
tests?
