Well, it works like \e now, which is good. The only complexity is that
\e works differently depending on whether you use ';' or \g, meaning:
SELECT 1;\e
will execute the buffer on exit (saved or not), while
SELECT 1\g\e
will not execute the buffer on editor exit. Our current \ef code does
not add a trailing semicolon to the CREATE FUNCTION buffer contents so
it works like the second case, which is probably the best we are going
to do.
