psql cannot \i a file which name contains a blank character. Why doesn't
it take the rest of the command line as the name of the file?!? Why
doesn't it use any of the standard command line parsing libraries which
respect "quoting" and \e\s\c\a\p\i\n\g?!? psql \i even does autocomplete
to the file name it fails to load...

Also will the BUG which causes postgresql to execute a sequential scan
when using min()/max()/count() ever be fixed? min()/max() can be
rewritten as SELECT $column ORDER BY $column ASC/DESC LIMIT 1 but this
should be done by the database, NOT by the user!
