My guess is that something comparable to where pgbench is would be a
reasonable target --- not least because I think we should strive to
reduce unnecessary differences between psql and pgbench metalanguages.

I'm not sure that I'm ready to propose that they should share the same
expression engine, but perhaps it's not a totally wacky idea.
