There is no default pset setting in psql.sql. Following test has its own
setting. Generally this is the responsibility to every test to set the
environment how it is necessary. Maybe I am wrong, but I see, so only
database objects and prepared queries are cleaned there. There is not
problem to write \pset border 1 \pset expanded off, but following tests
starts with \pset expanded off and this can be little bit messy and
redundant

Thank you for check
