I did not ignore you --- I replied I was getting to it, and now you are not telling me what the TODO wording should be, and now Joshua Drake doesn't want it. I see this email you sent me: - Allow psql to display item numbers along each history item, depending on a \set variable So that is what we agreed to? OK, old item removed, and this added: o Add a \set variable to control whether \s displays line numbers Also, Alvaro, feel free to add TODO items yourself. There is nothing special about me adding a TODO item except that I update the HTML, but if I see a commit to TODO, I update TODO.html. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDBhttp://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate

Also, I'd modify the idea slightly to allow a more general facility, using %-escapes (or similar) for line numbers, dates and so on. Bash allows something like this (albeit limited to only times) using the HISTTIMEFORMAT environment variable. This is the first case I know of of an embargo to an agreed TODO item. Why was it put in place? I find it distracting, because the item has to be put on someone else's TODO list and then that person has to pinch others to get it added to the central TODO list.
