sqlbang

Sorry I don't know if this is right list.

I use scripts of such a kind (I say "SQLbang")

#!/usr/local/bin/psql -qQ
\a \t \pset fieldsep ' '

\set router '\'' :1 '\''

SELECT ispdb_sfbsdr_allow(network(inet),niface)
FROM ispdb_sfbsdr_riaddr, nets
WHERE nrouter = :router
AND int_type = index_int_type('int')
AND network(inet) <<= network(net)
AND nets.control

Parameters after sqlbang's name goes to :1, :2 so on.
This is patch:

I propose to include this feature.
Sorry for bad English.
