It just seems to me to be a very big stretch to go from the topic of
psql border styles to the topic of psql scripting support. Your use case
would surely be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. By all means argue
for better scripting support in psql, but I would suggest your argument
would be better if the use case were something more important and
central to psql's purpose.
