My first though was to print something like \set output, but why not
reuse the original code/output when \pset is used ?
This second choice has three main advantages :
* Information shown is the same everywhere * Backward compatibility with \pset output * Avoid code
redundancy
About shortcut I'm agree with Pavel that it is less readable and already
in the help, \? is the big reminder :-)
