Because this sort of questions appears quite often, I was wondering, if the
start up message of psql could be changed from


Welcome to psql 7.4devel, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.


to something like


Welcome to psql 7.4devel, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Connected to PostgreSQL <put version here>.


to make it easier to catch these errors. Don't I get the server version with
"select version();"? (I would even try my first patch if folks would like
it...)
