Pgbench variable substitution is performed when the script is run, not
while the file is being processed for being split, which is when a lexer
would be used. The situation is not the same with psql. The most it could
do would be to keep track of what substitution are done in queries.

Possibly. How much more effort would be involved compared to the quick
patch I did, I wonder:-)
