The documentation says:
| Arranges to save future query results to the file filename or
| pipe future results to the shell command command. If no argument
| is specified, the query output is reset to the standard output.
|
| "Query results" includes all tables, command responses, and

| various backslash commands that query the database (such as \d),
| but not error messages.
Are you seeing anything inconsistent with the documentation? If
so, what?
