It is somewhat annoying to type EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, VERBOSE) in psql tool every time you tune queries.
So, is there a way to define an aliases (autocompletable ones would be very nice) in psql similar to the way it is in bash?
E.g. FULLEXPLAIN SELECT * FROM pg_stat; results into EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, VERBOSE) SELECT * FROM pg_stat;
\set fullexplain EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS, VERBOSE)
:fullexplain SELECT * FROM pg_stat;.
Probably not the most elegant thing I admit.
Also you could put this in .psqlrc.
