psql allows you to omit the space between the command and argument? Does anybody else find that weird? What is the virtue of allowing such a syntax in the first place? I can't think of any other context where it's okay to issue a command together with arguments without some kind of delimiter, for the obvious reason that it introduces ambiguities such as those Greg described.
