Another minor issue is that \s doesn't show copy-pastable things.

For example:

alvherre=# select 1
alvherre-# union all
alvherre-# select 2;
?column?
----------
1
2
(2 rows)

alvherre=# \s
select 1union allselect 2;

I imagine this is just a matter of translating the line separator
character into true newlines.
