I think the consensus is pretty clear that we should just set the
default linestyle to ascii and not try to be cute with it. (I had
already committed a patch to that effect before I saw your message.)

The right way for people who want to see the nice graphics is to put
"\pset linestyle unicode" into their .psqlrc. At this point I think
the only open issue is whether to try to fix things so that .psqlrc
will be executed for non-interactive cases like -c/-l. (Hm, is
.psqlrc executed for "psql -f file"? Should it be?)
