Meanwhile, returning to the point at hand in this thread: AFAICS from a quick review of the git logs, the last intentional changes of user-visible behavior in fe-print.c were more than 20 years ago. Since then it's only seen in-passing bug fixes, such as libpq-wide fixes of signal handling. So, to the extent that this code has any use at all it's for legacy applications. I don't think we should be making random changes in its behavior for at-best-weak reasons. In short, I'm now a vote to revert every single bit of 5da9868ed. regards, tom lane
