Contrary to what the subject suggests, I think the main reason people
wanted this feature was to be able to set the linestyle to unicode
without getting a warning from older releases about unknown linestyle or
something. But in a few years, they'll have to
maintain .psqlrc-9.2, .psqlrc-9.3, .psqlrc-9.4, etc. That doesn't sound
like a useful long-term solution either.
