Take it up a notch?  Write a script which takes the dbname and the script name:

/pcode/

#!/bin/bash -e
if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then echo "missing arg(s)"; exit 2; fi
dbn=$1; shift;
sql=$1; shift;
psql --dbname $dbn --file $sql

/pcode/

I thought of that, yet so earnestly want avoid Yet Another Tiny Script.

Isn't it a toss-up with putting the check in every sql script?
Or make it /really/ fancy: use proper arg parsing; check for existence of the sql script; add a usage function; split stdout/stderr... No end of fun.
