In response to improve the help message about psql -F  (Jov <amutu@amutu.com>)
List pgsql-hackers
any commnet?



2014/1/17 Jov <amutu@amutu.com>
in the offical doc,-F say:
Use separator as the field separator for unaligned output. 

but in the psql --help,-F say:
set field separator (default: "|")

if user don't read the offical doc carefully,he can use:

psql -F , -c 'select ...' 
But can't get what he want.
It is a bad user Experience.

I make a patch change the help message for -F to:
set field separator for unaligned output (default: "|")

patch for head attached.
