Yeah, that's an awfully good point, and I have to admit I'd generally
prefer multiple xterms too.

AFAICT, supporting C-z will add a pretty significant increment of
definitional complexity, implementation complexity, and portability
risks to what otherwise could be a relatively small patch. I don't
want to buy into that just because "some people might use it".
I note also that if we start trapping C-z, it would stop working
for what it works for now, namely suspending psql so you can do
something else in that window.
So, +1 for thinking about this entirely as a scripting feature.
