Can we say "Some psql features..."? the lowercase looks odd.

I'd like to have both for consistency's sake. It also helps if you're
debugging over the phone or looking at a pasted section. It also
makes the warning message easier, as there is no need to embed
version numbers inside of it.

If I had enough time, I'd start just making psql backwards-compatible,
but that's another thread...
