Under what circumstances would it be appropriate for a script to take it on itself to decide that? It has no way of knowing what the next -f option is or what the user intended.
Can we add an exit code argument to the \quit meta-command that could be set to non-zero and, combined with ON_ERROR_STOP, produces the desired effect of aborting everything just like an error under ON_ERROR_STOP does (which is the workaround here I suppose, but an ugly one that involves the server).
