I think it would be a good idea to expect this patch to cause zero
change in psql output except in the cases where there are actually
control characters in the data. Otherwise there are likely to be
complaints. (I'm already unhappy at the prospect that this means
every single regression test's output has changed, even if diff
--ignore-space is hiding them.)
I'd settle for stripping trailing blanks on the last line of a multiline
field value, if that'd be any easier than stripping them for all lines.
