I don't really expect it to be used for non-critical things - after all,
interactive_psql() also depends on psql being built with readline support,
which we traditionally don't have on windows... For most tasks background_psql
should suffice...

Yea.
One thing I wonder is whether we should have a central function for checking
if interactive_psql() is available, instead of copying 010_tab_completion.pl's
logic for it into multiple tests. But that could come later too.
