Let's suppose I am writing a query, and then I do \e to edit the query,
and I exit the editor and return to psql.  Suppose I decide I want to
reedit, so I up arrow.  I would expect to get \e, not the query I just
edited, no?
Wouldn't it depend on how this gets implemented?

Maybe least negative impact approach (suggested already): If the "large command that was edited" is put in the command history before the \e, then both are available and there is no big change from "expected behaviour".

i.e. one up arrow get the previous \e, and a second up arrow would bring up the command that was worked upon.

?
