Define "correctly" --- I would expect \connect to establish a new
connection even if the same target database is named. We can't change
that behavior without breaking existing scripts, IMO --- for example, \c
is a long-established way to reset GUC settings, prepared statements,
etc.
Perhaps we should have \connect fail outright in -1 mode. I can see
no way for it to do anything and still maintain the expectation of a
single transaction.
