We're due for a sqlline release 1.10; 1.9 was a little over a year ago. But I'm lazy. I can't be bothered to make a release that has only 3 or 4 bug fixes/features since 1.9.
Let's have one or two pull requests, and then I'll make 1.10. There are plenty of good ideas on the issues page: https://github.com/julianhyde/sqlline/issues Julian
