I think it would help if we considered the new border styles and the new
line styles separately.

I don't find the new border styles to be particularly useful. They just
use up vertical screen space, which is usually more precious than
vertical space. Is there a situation where you would find these styles
to be more useful than the existing ones? Keep in mind that pset is
usually set permanently, so it wouldn't be practical to use a different
border style depending on how the query results shape up (like \x auto).

Now for the linestyles. I can see how some of them are attractive, but
several of them have poor aesthetics, I think. I don't see a reason to
accept 7 new styles just for fun. If I had to choose, I'd consider
-double1 and -double4 to be acceptable.
