I have seen no such agreement. The ability to reconfigure the keys is
definitly a feature, so it could perhaps be argued to be that. In

another thing that makes libedit a lot more encouraging - if it could be
made working.

We do keep history if the new psql is startede in the same
commandprompt. If you start a new cmd, history gets reset. (Which is
what happens if you start it from the start menu)
