A side affect of this newline patch is that all fields are now filled with 
white space up to the displayed column width, even for the last (or only 
column). I guess this is somehow required for consistent display. Otherwise, 
it makes copy&paste from a psql session more painful, because of all the 
added white-space. I hope that psql output intended for script output using 
the available flags (i.e. not the "nice display" output) is unaffected?
