We can define variables with any names in pgbench, but only can refer them with names that consist of [A-Za-z0-9_]+ . It could cause confusion discussed here: http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4b272833.8080...@2ndquadrant.com
The attached patch verifies variable names at definition.
$ pgbench -D var:name=value
(global): invalid variable name 'var:name'
It would help users to determine why their custom scripts failed
when they misuse "\setXXX :varname" (the colon should be removed).
