commit    033d45a1008f6846ae2380568abaee22da6ca19a
Author:   Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date:     Wed Nov 14 21:29:57 2018 +0000
First released in: 12.0, 9.4.21, 9.5.16, 9.6.12, 10.7, 11.2

    Doc: remove claim that all \pset format options are unique in 1 letter.
    
    This hasn't been correct since 9.3 added "latex-longtable".
    
    I left the phraseology "Unique abbreviations are allowed" alone.
    It's correct as far as it goes, and we are studiously refraining
    from specifying exactly what happens if you give a non-unique
    abbreviation.  (The answer in the back branches is "you get a
    backwards-compatible choice", and the answer in HEAD will shortly
    be "you get an error", but there seems no need to mention such
    details here.)
