But wait ... is it actually a variable? help.c does list it, but
as a \pset option:

HELP0(" \\pset [NAME [VALUE]] set table output option\n"
" (border|columns|csv_fieldsep|display_false|display_true|\n"
...

Some kind of mechanical cross-check does seem like a good idea,
even if it's just a rough one-time effort.
