Obviously not to others.
It certainly doesn't make very much sense to do it in combination with
this patch, since if the standard help text is cut to one line who's
going to bother with "terse" mode? And the "none" mode isn't much of a
feature by itself either; people who want that will most likely want -q
mode even more.
Peter's patch is certainly useful but this is something quite different
but affecting some of the same behavior. My idea is all about the 99% of
people that don't use a .psqlrc. Should we not provide a simpler
interface that provides succinct and need to know information just
because we added a feature to .psqlrc?
That seems odd.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
