Prompt customization is certainly something that could be done (and I
use in my .psqlrc), but consider someone unaware of the psql prompt
customization or people who are not using their own setup/account,
etc. This is a command that could be useful for anyone; as experts,
we tend to miss some of the holes in the current interfaces.
