No objection in principle, but what are we talking about exactly? Adding some new backslash command that lists all the variables that have special meanings? I'm not sure that the main --help output is the place for this, because that only covers psql's command line switches (and is plenty long enough already).
Hard to say -
a special long option in "General option" can be clean.
