Not sure about zsh's Ctrl-C, but in bash I press Esc-# and a # is
prepended to the current line and entered into the history. This is
what I use when I want to review some manpage or something.
It also "works" in psql, but unsurprisingly it also prepends #. We
could fix it by having it prepend -- instead, or maybe enclose the
current editing buffer in /* */.
(This only works in a single line fashion in bash, but I don't see why
we couldn't make it work multiline in psql.)
