Hi,
As a dba I have to, very often, query system functions, starting with
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp and pg_current_wal_lsn.

Would it be possible/hard/expensive, to change tab-completion so that:

select pg_<tab> would work?
It does, in the psql 9.6 and 12 that I installed from it's native
repositories, and the psql 12 installed from RHEL 7/8 native repositories.
Hmm .. I'm on Pg 16, linked with readline, and pressing tab after

Pg 16??

select pg_
just produces new prompt:

https://asciinema.org/a/A8w16KhXF7bK4iz7hE7iyyo0D

Can you please show me this working, with "which psql", and "ldd $(
which psql )" using asciinema?

$ alias psql12
alias psql12='/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/psql -p5433'

$ psql12
psql (12.11 (Ubuntu 12.11-1.pgdg18.04+1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# select * from pg_<tab>
Display all 130 possibilities? (y or n)
