This took a little longer to get time to polish than I'd hoped, but
please find attached a patch which:
- Correctly connects to service= and postgres(ql)?:// with \c
- Disallows tab completion in the above cases
I'd like to see about having tab completion actually work correctly in
at least the service= case, but that's a matter for a follow-on patch.
Thanks to Andrew Dunstan for the original patch, and to Andrew Gierth
for his help getting it into shape.
Cheers,
David.
