Nothing except new option "-E" which shows actual queries issued by
some \ commands (Example session follows). Sorry, I forgot to mention
about it. I believe this will greatly reduce beginners questions: "How
can I list tables in my database?":-)

./psql -E regression Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql

type \? for help on slash commands
type \q to quit
type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
You are currently connected to the database: regression

regression=> \d
QUERY: SELECT usename, relname, relkind, relhasrules FROM pg_class, pg_user WHERE ( relkind = 'r' OR relkind = 'i' OR relkind = 'S') and relname !~ '^pg_' and usesysid = relowner ORDER BY relname

Database = regression
