Ah, I see.  I tested ':' expansion in queries and found the space wasn't
needed, but I see now that with \set it is needed:

    test=> \set x a
    test=> \echo :x
    a
    test=> \set y b:x
    test=> \echo :y
    b:x
    test=> \set y b :x
    test=> \echo :y
    ba

I will update the documentation to add the space.  Thanks.
