My favorite part of this thread so far is actually realizing that when
someone hits ctrl-D, we'll happily print '\q' even if we were in quotes:
=> select $$
-> oh look
-> \q
-> doesn't work
-> but if I hit ctrl-D...
-> \q
➜ ~
Which is pretty cute considering \q doesn't actually work there. :)
Thanks!
