What's that have to do with it? This is a development option,
not a production option. I don't think it should be in production
builds at all, let alone be invokable via a simple command-line switch.
The notion that ordinary users will want to use it is hogwash ---
we'd be much more likely to get complaints about psql spewing unexpected
output.
