I have a different question. Why are we mixing file and pipe output? I
think the use cases are different and perhaps we should use different
defaults.
For example, most people I've seen writing shell scripts involving psql
output have to pass the -A flag all the time. Perhaps we could change
the default output to unaligned for pipes?
