I quite like this idea, although I would rather a line printed after
each command is run: something like

mydbname=# select ;
--
(1 row)

\h for help, \q for quit, \expert to turn off this message
osprey=#

This has the advantage that it doesn't need curses support, is pretty
simple and actually has the "off" information inline.

When you type \expert you could print a line that says

put \expert in ~/.psqlrc to make this change permanent

or something.
