You are totally correct -- thou shalt not assume super-user privs
without cause.  I was using the "#" notation to be consistant with
Tom's previous post.

But this doesn't change my suggestion about changing

   \set PROMPT2 '+%# '

The "%#" token at the end expands to "#" for the super user and ">"
for us mere mortals.  So I could have typed my example as:

postgres=> SELECT * FROM users
+>

... which I think would satisfy the needs of new-ish users such as
myself and John.
