Of course, you are right.  I tried psql -e and -a and -L and none of
them do it.  The only way to get the queries into the output file as
well is to copy them there separately:

  \o output_file_name
  \qecho SELECT * FROM my_table;
  SELECT * FROM my_table;
  \o

It's a bit cumbersome.

The other way is to capture the whole session output.  In Linux you can
do that with the script command, but I don't know if Windows has any
decent tools like that.
