Or use PGOPTIONS. I think there might be a use-case for this sort of
thing, but it's going to be more complicated than a SET or two; that's
why I think the feature ought to provide for a script not just a
command.

One particular use-case that comes to mind is executing \set commands
that only need to be done once, not once per iteration.
