By doing this in .inputrc:

$if psql
set comment-begin "--"
$endif

(observe that we set rl_readline_name in order to allow this)

But that shouldn't necessarily stop us doing the setting in psql by
default - it just needs to be verified that it does compile against the
libedit versions people are actually using, and not break anything. (On
the libedit on my system, rl_variable_bind ends up trying to bind the
variable as a _key_, and I have no idea what effect that would have if
any. Note that libedit does not seem to bind M-# by default.)
