Yeah, I ran into that line-length limit in pgbench a couple months ago.
We really oughta remove the restriction; seems like that shouldn't be
hard.

I'm less enthused about introducing a multiline-command feature; that'd
require inventing some escape syntax that's not there now, and making it
100% backwards compatible might be hard.
