Would \c# limit us to 9 concurrent connections? Might want

\cs[witch] [session]

which would switch to the specified session. If none specified, it would
switch back to whatever session was previously active.

\c& sounds fine (as do \c1...\c9). \g& would probably be helpful as well
(send query buffer to server in nowait mode).
