How do you expect that to behave?  I suppose the backend could send
NOTICE-like messages every 1% or so, and then psql could try to display
that in some way (which?), but then I suspect that a) it will annoy some
people, so b) it will have to be off by default, and then c) it won't be
enabled when you need it.
