To be perfectly clear, I also think that the reverse is true: if a
fairly complete design was demonstrated to be possible such that it
covered just about every case, I'd be all for it.  (I sort of like the
suggestion up-thread, myself, which is to have a GUC that disables
multi-statement commands.  That'd probably cover a huge number of
cases, and combined with some sensible quoting rules in client
libraries, would quite possibly be enough.)
