I think the feature implementation should also provide tab completion for
SPLIT/MERGE.
(ALTER TABLE t S<Tab>
fills in only SET now.)

Also, the following MERGE operation:
CREATE TABLE t (i int, PRIMARY KEY(i)) PARTITION BY RANGE (i);
CREATE TABLE tp_0 PARTITION OF t FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (1);
CREATE TABLE tp_1 PARTITION OF t FOR VALUES FROM (1) TO (2);
ALTER TABLE t MERGE PARTITIONS (tp_0, tp_1) INTO tp_0;

leaves a strange constraint:
\d+ t*
                                          Table "public.tp_0"
...
Not-null constraints:
    "merge-16385-26BCB0-tmp_i_not_null" NOT NULL "i"

Best regards,
