It occurred to me later to substitute &majorversion; and &version;
like this:

+ for example <filename>~/.psqlrc-&majorversion;</filename> or
+ <filename>~/.psqlrc-&version;</filename>. The most specific

On testing that in HEAD, I read

Both the system-wide startup file and the user's personal startup file
can be made psql-version-specific by appending a dash and the
PostgreSQL major or minor release number to the file name, for example
~/.psqlrc-16 or ~/.psqlrc-16devel.

That's a little confusing but it's actually accurate, because what
process_psqlrc_file appends is the string PG_VERSION, so in a devel
branch or beta release there's a non-numeric "minor release".
I'm inclined to go ahead and do it like that.
