Please keep in mind that it is not always possible to use -f. In my
case I had a file larger than 2GB and psql was compiled without large
file support. Detecting an error in that situation would have required
recompiling psql.

Also I don't see the point in not extending the context message of the
error. It's not like it's going to take too much processing power, nor
screen estate, so what is it?
