Eh?  The only places where we should need new tests are the places
that check PQExpBufferBroken() now - there are only 6 calls to that
function in src/bin/psql and not all of them need to be changed.  The
places that do need to be changed will need to be modified to check
PQExpBufferBroken() || lexer_coughed_up_a_lung.

It should be possible to do this pretty simply, I think.
