I disagree. If they want to use PostgreSQL, they should learn our
syntax. How can you make sure that this will be enough for them?
What if
they want more?
This is intended to be a gentle nudge in the right direction, not a
replacement for their regular syntax. This does not perform the
command in question, just points them to the right one, along with a
general reminder that all kinds of good help is available via \?.
I have administrated lots of MySQL server until I started working for
Command Prompt (I still take a look at one once a month, for a
government related thing).

What if some other people will come up with the idea of adding similar
functionality for their favorite database? The only exception will be
Informix IMHO, because of historical reasons.
I'm not sure what you're saying here WRT Informix; if there is
substantial desire and a large enough group that would find such
newbie hints useful, I'd say we could generalize this more, but I
don't think this patch obligates one to any such future proposals.
So, -1 from me for adding such a support for MySQL's cli commands.
