Hackers,
"call <tab>" works. Obviously it was a trivial case.

But "select <tab>" does nothing.

Worse, "select pg_stat_st<tab>" has no clue. I was looking for ... _reset

It's not that difficult to add, I am suggesting that we use the same
logic as \df at that point?

Is there any such support for this?
Is it bad form to offer a bounty for someone to do this in this list? (I
simply won't have time for 2-3 months).

Thanks!
