Yes, but what happens when a new non-transaction command is added? If we forget to exclude it in psql, we'll certainly
alsoforget to add it to the unit test.
The options I see...
1) If there's a definitive way to tell from backend source code what commands disallow transactions then we can just
usethat information to generate the list of commands psql shouldn't do that with.
2) Always run the regression test with auto-commit turned off.
3) Run the regression in both modes (presumably only on the build farm due to how long it would take).
