Should we do some kind of stat() before opening the file and abort if it's a

Actually anything other than a plain file, right? (Do we really want to
be able to psql -f a_pipe?)
Sure, why not. To be honest I think that psql shouldn't be ignoring the
EISDIR error the kernel is returning.
But it works when you open directory in read-only mode. See posix
definition:
[EISDIR]
The named file is a directory and oflag includes O_WRONLY or O_RDWR.
