Agree with this. The whole reason people here are reluctant to add "quit"
in the first place is that it could become a slippery slope where people
now want every popular MySQL/Oracle command cloned, just so they can avoid
reading docs and never understand the design/power/elegance of Postgres.

For example, while I think "quit" is a good idea, it'd be a shame if it
caused people to never find out about \ commands.

Yes, I think we can find the right balance here. We don't need to suddenly
start implementing SHOW TABLES, as attractive as that is to people who know
MySQL.
