AW: [HACKERS] Getting OID in psql of recent insert

> testdb=> \set singlestep on
> testdb=> \set sql_interpol '#'
> testdb=> \set foo 'pg_class'
> testdb=> select * from #foo#;

This is great, but may I object to the syntax ?
The standard sql way to use host variables seems to be:
select * from :foo where id = :id

There will always be the problem with conflicting operators,
and this one syntax, already needed by ecpg, it is hard enough.
