Okay, but what on earth is "\c&" and what would you expect it to do
when it "works"? I suppose you're connecting to a database, but
somehow I don't think you're talking about a database with the name
"&".

If & has some special meaning as a psql argument (and I see no mention
of it in the manual; another undocumented quirk?) then you'd still be
able to do "\c &" ...
