Tom Lane d1c866e57f Make psql redisplay the query buffer after \e.
Up to now, whatever you'd edited was put back into the query buffer
but not redisplayed, which is less than user-friendly.  But we can
improve that just by printing the text along with a prompt, if we
enforce that the editing result ends with a newline (which it
typically would anyway).  You then continue typing more lines if
you want, or you can type ";" or do \g or \r or another \e.

This is intentionally divorced from readline's processing,
for simplicity and so that it works the same with or without
readline enabled.  We discussed possibly integrating things
more closely with readline; but that seems difficult, uncertainly
portable across different readline and libedit versions, and
of limited real benefit anyway.  Let's try the simple way and
see if it's good enough.

Patch by me, thanks to Fabien Coelho and Laurenz Albe for review

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
