It's kind of handy that, for example, you can hit return a few times
without causing psql to think that something's been put into the query
buffer. I'm worried that removing this code entirely might lead to
problems like failure to recognize backslash commands preceded by
whitespace.
Peter's patch looks like the most conservative fix to me ...
