Yeah. The other reason that you can't just transparently change the
behavior is error handling: people are used to seeing either all or
none of the output of a query. In single-row mode that guarantee

an error.
That's true. I'd never envisioned to this transparently either, exactly of
this reason. However, i find to have single row mode somewhere has some
attractiveness, be it only to have some code around that shows how to do it
right. But i fear we might complicate things in psql beyond what we really
want.
