switching off on is not user friendly

but maybe some interactive mode should be usefull - so after
execution, and showing result, will be prompt if result should be
saved or not.

some like:

\ans interactive
> SELECT * FROM pg_proc;

**** result ****

should be saved last result [y, n]?
> y
result is saved in :ans22

yes, lot of queries is just +/- experiment and you don't would store result

yes, the names :ans01, :ans02, ... miss semantics - How I can join
this name (and content) with some SQL query?

I needs to reverese search in SQL of stored caches, and I need a information

ans01          SELECT * FROM pg_proc
ans02          SELECT * FROM ans02 WHERE ...
ans03 ...
