Hi,

It looks like \ef doesn't honor ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK:

=3D# \set ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK true
=3D# BEGIN;
BEGIN
=3D# \ef error
ERROR:  function "error" does not exist
=3D# select 1;
ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of
transaction block

I think ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK only controls errors in user queries, not
errors in psql operations.  Sorry.
