Shouldn't -1 imply ON_ERROR_STOP or some variant by default?

Only if it could ensured that embedded SAVEPOINTS can be handled properly...a quick check shows that ON_ERROR_STOP will stop any script even when the errorneous command is probably rolled back by a subsequent ROLLBACK TO:

SELECT 1;

SAVEPOINT A;

SELECT et; <-- ON_ERROR_STOP stops here

ROLLBACK TO A;

SELECT 2;

It seems -1 needs some smarter variant of ON_ERROR_STOP.
