Hello,

I came across the following help message added in commit 1a759c83278:

+       HELP0("  WATCH_INTERVAL\n"
+                 "    number of seconds \\watch by default waits between executing the query buffer\n");

It took me a little while to understand it. I read "executing the
query buffer" as referring to executions of the query buffer, which
clarified that the wait occurs between each execution.

> number of seconds \\watch waits by default between executions of the query buffer

I’m just wondering if the message might be worth revising. If it’s
already clear enough, please feel free to disregard this.

regards.
