I generally agreed with your opinion. But I'm not sure if there's someone
who'd like to see the list of backslash commands and choose one to use.
I mean, someone may type '\[tab][tab]' to check all supported backslash commands.
postgres=# \
Display all 105 possibilities? (y or n)
\! \dc \dL \dx \h \r
...
In the above scenario, both single- and multiple-character versions could be helpful, thought?
Regards,
Tang
