I can see that a "read/write" prompt in this case sounds misleading, but
I am not entirely sure it is a problem. The message says "Previous
connection kept", which might suggest that the previous parameter values
are cached? See %p:
postgres=# \set PROMPT1 '[%p] # '
[1268754] # \c
connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: No such file
or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that
socket?
Previous connection kept
[1268754] #
The backend pid is still displayed, although the server is no longer
running.

It didn't occur to me that read-only and read/write needed translation,
but I guess you're right. I'll add to the next version.
Thanks for the review. Much appreciated!
Best, Jim
