My recollection is that the principal argument against ONLINE was
that it didn't convey the function of the option to anyone who
didn't already know Oracle's usage of the term.
Also, psql's problem is not with auto-completion, it's with
detecting whether the command is allowed inside a transaction
block. That's not a function we can just blow off.
