In any case, this was more like "if we were doing this from scratch" conversation. I think PROMPT_COMMAND mode that takes <pre> and <post> string has been advertised throughout the pre-release freeze, which is long enough in Git timescale to avoid backward incompatibility, so we are already stuck with the function in two modes even if what I said in the previous message (i.e. "why not just one mode") worked. I am considering to fast-track the "optional third parameter" patch to the 1.8.1 final, so that we can have the same degree of customizability in both modes.
