IMHO it's not useless. pgAdmin already knows that quoting scheme... not yet tested, I'll have to check that patch.
I think the minimum amount of additional work that has to be done before
we can apply it is to teach psql's input parser about $QUOTE$ ---
without that, the feature is not only useless but counterproductive.
