No, I think Chris was complaining about the behavior with an
incomplete query in the buffer.  I can't show it with current
sources since psql is exiting on ^C, but 6.5 works like this:


play=> foobar
play-> ^C
CANCEL request sent                       <-- return typed here to get a prompt
play-> select 2+2;
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "foobar"
play=>


Notice the prompt correctly shows that I still have stuff in the
query buffer after ^C.  I think Chris is saying that ^C should
flush the buffer like \r does ... and I agree.
