Unable to toggle Expanded Display if "expand = True" set in config file

[jwarner112]

Description

Within the ~/.config/pgcli/config file, the following line is set:

# Enables expand mode, which is similar to `\x` in psql.
expand = True

In psql, regardless of the initial setting of \x, I'm able to toggle it by using \x in the session. pgcli things it can do this, too:

Expanded display is on.
Time: 0.000s
jwarner@database> \x
Expanded display is off.
Time: 0.000s
jwarner@database> \x
Expanded display is on.
Time: 0.000s
jwarner@database> \x
Expanded display is off.
Time: 0.000s
jwarner@database>

However, if expand = True (and auto_expand = False) is set in the config file, the \x toggle appears to do nothing.
