Well, if we allowed ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK to work in non-interactive
sessions we could just do:
\set ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK on
DROP TABLE foo;
\set ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK off
No new syntax required. Seems this variable is going to need an
'interactive' setting, which means it isn't boolean anymore.
Also, should we allow 'true/false' to work with these seetings? We do
that with boolean columns in SQL.
