I like that idea. Here is a minimal patch that allows you to put
\set WELCOME_MESSAGE none
or
\set WELCOME_MESSAGE terse
into .psqlrc. The latter keeps the version information but omits the
information about the backslash commands. I didn't change any of the message
wordings. Simon's argument that screenshots and HOWTOs would need to be
updated is not invalid.
I think everyone will find a mode they like here.
