And what about create some way to create aliases for meta-commands in psql? Something like:

\alias quit \q
\alias exit \q

We also can create a special config variable to enable/disable use of aliases:

\set USE_ALIAS on


I don't think it will fix the problem, if you don't know how to use "\q", "\alias exit \q" and "exit" will be even harder.
Remember, it is basically to help newcomers.
