The noes have it!
Note that the motivation was really symmetric completion:
fabien=# \echo :VERSION_NAME 11devel fabien=# \echo :VERSION_NUM 110000 fabien=# \echo :VERSION PostgreSQL 11devel on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu,compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609, 64-bit fabien=# \echo
:SERVER_VERSION_NAME10.1 fabien=# \echo :SERVER_VERSION_NUM 100001
But
fabien=# \echo :SERVER_VERSION :SERVER_VERSION
To get it into a variable the work around is really:
fabien=# SELECT version() AS "SERVER_VERSION" \gset fabien=# \echo :SERVER_VERSION PostgreSQL 10.1 on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu,compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609, 64-bit
