Agree. If I tell psql that I want wrapped output and it gives me
something else when I output to a file, I'm going to be confused.
In particular, I often work up a query in psql, making revisions with
\e, and when I've got the results I want, I do a \g out.txt to dump
the query output into a file.
I expect that the contents of out.txt will be exactly the same as the
query output I've just been crafting in psql.
If I want to output the query in a machine-readable form to a file, I
just use \a to switch to unaligned output.
Aside: \a should probably be changed to toggle between "unaligned" and
"aligned"/"wrapped", whichever of the two you had selected last.
Cheers,
BJ
