I think a patch that adds a line to every prompt for everyone all the time and has to be explicitly turned off is not something that most people here are going to be willing to consider. -1 from me, for a start. > Also, to be frank, if someone's typed "quit<cr>" and you're going to > perform an action based on it, it feels like you might as well quit - > a bit like google saying "did you mean \q" in its sneering > supercilious way. Well, I don't agree; the reasons why have already been discussed upthread, so I won't repeat them here. Also, I think you're attributing a lot of emotion to Google's auto-correct. While it is not without its flaws, it is right about what I meant more often than it is wrong, and there are a lot of people who are worse at spelling than I am (not that I'm perfect or anything). Accuracy aside, I am fairly sure that it is an emotionless software artifact incapable either of sneering or superciliousness. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
