Обсуждение: psql autocomplete works not good in USER command in 9.6

Hello, 

I find, that autocomplete does not works good when I type in psql some USER commands:

CREATE USER <tab> ...
ALTER USER <tab> ...

psql's autocomplete returns database users and "pg_signal_backend" function, I suppose, that is not correct.

I try to undestand reasons and make a patch if those problem has not been solved  yet.

I don't see any problems here. CREATE/ALTER USER have for a pretty
long time tab-completed with the existing role names. 9.6 is not
really new to that. What's new though in 9.6 is the introduction of
pg_signal_backend in the list as a system role.
