I thought we were actually already getting inspiriration from psql, see
below:
```
psqlrc and ~/.psqlrc
Unless it is passed an -X option, psql attempts to read and execute
commands from the system-wide startup file (psqlrc) and then the user's
personal startup file (~/.psqlrc), after connecting to the database but before
accepting normal commands. These files can be used to set up the client and/or
the server to taste, typically with \set and SET commands.
The system-wide startup file is named psqlrc and is sought in the
installation's “system configuration” directory, which is most reliably
identified by running pg_config --sysconfdir. By default this directory will be
../etc/ relative to the directory containing the PostgreSQL executables. The
name of this directory can be set explicitly via the PGSYSCONFDIR environment
variable.
The user's personal startup file is named .psqlrc and is sought in the
invoking user's home directory. On Windows, which lacks such a concept, the
personal startup file is named %APPDATA%\postgresql\psqlrc.conf. The location
of the user's startup file can be set explicitly via the PSQLRC environment
variable.
Both the system-wide startup file and the user's personal startup file
can be made psql-version-specific by appending a dash and the PostgreSQL major
or minor release number to the file name, for example ~/.psqlrc-9.2 or
~/.psqlrc-9.2.5. The most specific version-matching file will be read in
preference to a non-version-specific file.
```
Unless your point is that the above is more for options / configuration than
it is for actually SQL / DDL. Which I think makes sense... I can make that
update.
