Hi!
I'm mostly fine with this patch, but maybe we need to handle `errno ==
ERANGE` inside ParseVariableDouble and provide a better error msg in
this case?
Something like:
```
reshke=# \set WATCH_INTERVAL -1e-309
underflow while parsing parameter
```
Also, maybe we should provide `double max` arg to the
ParseVariableDouble function, because this is a general-use function?
