-----------
Attached is a patch that enhances the "\h" capability in psql. I often
find myself typing a command and then wanting to get the syntax for it.
So I do a ctrl-a and add a \h: but psql does not recognize the command,
because I have stuff attached to it (e.g. "alter table foobar"), so I
have to scroll over and delete everything except the name of the command
itself. This patch gives \h three chances to match: if nothing matches
the complete string (current behavior), it tries to match the first two
words (e.g. "ALTER TABLE"). If that fails, it tries to match the first
word (e.g. "DELETE").
