Nice trick, but when I try the following variant:

I get [a syntax error]

This seems to be contrary to the psql manual page:

Nope.  Take a look at the -c option.  Specifically "Thus you cannot mix
SQL and psql meta-commands with this option."

You might try shell interpretation:

$ TEST=16; psql -c "select $TEST as \"input1\";"
$ TEST=16; echo "select $TEST as \"input1\";" | psql

Whatever happened to pgbash? I see the last update was Feb 2003 but that was for Pg v7.3.
