Good, that's definitely an improvement.
But can we not remove that empty line alltogether in tuples-only mode?
At the moment:
$ echo '\dt+ diffs*' | psql --tuples-only
public | diffs_2013_01 | table | aardvark | 8456 kB |
public | diffs_2013_02 | table | aardvark | 7832 kB |
$
The trailing empty line here makes almost as little sense as in the now amended case where there
are zero rows ...
(Of course, I realise that it's much more likely to break existing scripts, but should we then
keep such illogical things forever at all cost?)
