I think the same --- a new backslash command for this is absolutely not
worth its weight compared to using "TABLE foo".

We have identified at least two places where psql could be improved to
support the use of "TABLE foo" better, without adding any new syntax
(viz, teach the FETCH_COUNT logic about it and improve tab-completion
to know about the possibility of limit/offset clauses).  I think that's
a much more sensible path to pursue than inventing more "features".
