I ran libedit-history-fixes-v3.patch through my previous libedit-28 test.
Now, patched psql writes ^A for newlines in any command. Here's the new
matrix of behaviors when recalling history:
master using master-written history: oldest command: ok rest: ok v3-patched using master-written history: oldest
command:ok rest: ok master using v3-patched-written history oldest command: ok rest: each broken if it contained
anewline v3-patched using v3-patched-written history oldest command: ok rest: ok
That's probably the same result you saw. How does it compare to the
compatibility effects for other libedit versions you tested?

Quite so.
