psql and readline comments - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hello,

please consider integrating making the usual readilne binding M-# do in psql what users expect from it: insert comment
at the beginning of the line.  See for patch:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/01e0355e-381e-9732-7d4e-cbd0e6bfa710@aegee.org

At 
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/0afcbc3f-8c1c-c576-824a-5cc02e5a81e5@2ndquadrant.com was suggested to postpone
this for PG11.  Now you can integrate this on the master branch.
