Maybe both are wrong, though the DROP case seems to work so maybe it's
just dead code. This was introduced in commit
90725929465474648de133d216b873bdb69fe357:
***************
*** 674,685 **** psql_completion(char *text, int start, int end)
else if (pg_strcasecmp(prev_wd, "CREATE") == 0)
matches = completion_matches(text, create_command_generator);
! /* DROP, except ALTER (TABLE|DOMAIN|GROUP) sth DROP */
/* complete with something you can drop */
else if (pg_strcasecmp(prev_wd, "DROP") == 0 &&
! pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "TABLE") != 0 &&
! pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "DOMAIN") != 0 &&
! pg_strcasecmp(prev3_wd, "GROUP") != 0)
matches = completion_matches(text, drop_command_generator);
/* ALTER */
