It just seems to me to be a very big stretch to go from the topic of 
psql border styles to the topic of psql scripting support. Your use case 
would surely be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. By all means argue 
for better scripting support in psql, but I would suggest your argument 
would be better if the use case were something more important and 
central to psql's purpose.
