>(verbatim) or ??? Comments?
Don's suggestion seems the right track for me.
It stays away from counting flags, which seems right. It sticks with
one-char flags for single dashes whihc is not the law but is common
enough to be intuitive for many users. PLus there's an aesthetic
appeal to -e for 'echo' and -E for 'echo everything'. It also does
not change current behavior in cases where people are expecting psql
-e to behave a certain way.
Just my $0.02 worth as a user.
