psql allows you to omit the space between the command and argument?
Does anybody else find that weird?

What is the virtue of allowing such a syntax in the first place?  I
can't think of any other context where it's okay to issue a command
together with arguments without some kind of delimiter, for the
obvious reason that it introduces ambiguities such as those Greg
described.
