I'm getting grudgingly more used to CVS HEAD's behavior of stuffing a
multiline command into the history buffer as a single item, but there's
still something bothering me about it. I've finally put my finger on
what. I think it should not combine SQL text and backslash commands
into a single history entry. The example that seriously sucks is:
regression=# select foo ...
regression-# \r
Query buffer reset (cleared).
now control-P brings back:
regression=# select foo ...
\r
In the case where I type SQL and backslash on one line, of course it
can't break them apart, but I think there should be a general rule that
a line starting with a backslash is always a separate history entry.
Also, \e is seriously broken: after you edit the text and exit the
editor, the text is not reloaded into the visible display (although it
does seem to still be "behind the scenes" somewhere).
