It has bothered me too. I am particularly bothered by the uselessness
that M-# results in -- namely, inserting a # at the start of the buffer.
This is quite useless: in bash, the # starts a comment, so M-# makes the
entry a comment; but in psql it doesn't have that effect. If somebody
were to make M-# make the buffer a /* ... */ comment, it would become
quite handy.
