Trailing semicolons in psql patch

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

How about a patch to strip semicolons in psql? I *know*
some of you have done this before:

\d mytable;

(Did not find any relation named "mytable;")

Since there is no reason to have a table named "mytable;"
why not just have psql do the smart thing and silently
strip the trailing semicolons? The attached patch only addresses
a few backslash commands as a proof of concept, but some others
could probably use it without harm. The patch affects:

\C
\c
\d
\e
\i
\o
\s
\z

P.S. Re: microtiming: EXPLAIN ANALYZE sounds interesting, and as
soon as cvs is fixed so that anoncvs/postgresql works, I'll take
a look at it. :)
