I think you're asking for more scriptability in psql. Personally I
think that would be a great idea, but we need a lot more than what's
being proposed here. We'll also need loops, conditionals, etc. We've
had patches for those submitted over the years, but one at a time they
are easily rejected because they're so obviously incomplete.
