+1 from me, patch applies and is helpful.
After patching this line in psql --help is 82 characters long; I think
it's best to keep help screens below 80 characters wide (although
there's already 1 other line violating this rule).
I think the word "set" is pretty useless there anyway, maybe remove
that so the message becomes "field separator for unaligned output
(default: "|")"
PS: There isn't an open CommitFest to add this to. Shouldn't we always
open a new CF when the last one goes in progress? If there's no date,
it may be simply called "next"
Regards,
Marti
