I was wondering about this myself, but I'm still not used to the new banner.
It seems kind of... curt. Perhaps it should just be a single line instead of
two lines both around 20 characters...

Anyways the thing that struck me as odd was the messages appearing *before*
the header. It seems to me the header should print followed by .psqlrc output
followed by normal output.
