I pushed this with the simplified test methodology.
While I was fooling with it I noticed that the existing code for -n
is buggy. The documentation says clearly that only the first
argument is a candidate to be -n:
If the first argument is an unquoted <literal>-n</literal> the trailing
newline is not written.
but the actual implementation allows any argument to be recognized as
-n:
regression=# \echo this -n should not be -n like this
this should not be like thisregression=#
I fixed that, but I'm wondering if we should back-patch that fix
or leave the back branches alone.
