Hi All,

I'd like to cast a small 'feature request' here for discussion/
evaluation. The case is the following:

When working on a new database application I quite frequently:
-------------------------------
        test_xx# \c template1
        template1# DROP DATABASE test_xx;
        template1# CREATE DATABASE test_xx TEMPLATE = earlier_version;
        template1# \c test_xx
        template1# \i some_cooked_dataset.sql-dump
-------------------------------

All this is of cource issued from psql utility, and using psql_history
buffer.

Now, the thing is, that I have to be very carefull and focused when
going back in psql_history, as several times I've skiped the "\c
test_xx" stage .... and ended up in a mass.

The quickest solution is to put the whole thing in one script and execute that with \i or -f from the command-prompt.
