Note that the looping behavior there is actually rather new, and is
probably unnecessary for 99% of applications; it would depend on what
your ambitions are for dealing gracefully with connection loss (and
even then, I think we were forced into this by pre-existing decisions
elsewhere in psql about where and how we handle connection loss).

The important thing for this question is the error reporting that
occurs at lines 692-694.
