Currently, a session will look like the following:

See:
\d

machack:machack:5485=#
Said formatting looks like it could use some improvement, open to
suggestions, but something on a single line seems more useful.
You should at least make clear that this is an error message due to an
unsupported command. The output above looks broken. Something like
this should be okay, I think:
ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "tables"
NOTICE: use \d to list tables, or \? for general help with psql
commands
ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "databases"
NOTICE: use \l to list databases, or \? for general help with psql
commands
That's a very good point as far as the visibility is concerned.
Should the error messages between the SHOW cases and the others be
consistent ("ERROR: unsupported command" or similar)? It's worth
noting that this is only in the psql client, but we could simulate the
ereport output from the server.

David
