You type "insert", realize you want an editor for this, hit enter
(multi-line mode is psql), type \e, hit enter again, your editor appears
with "insert" already in place from the query buffer. Upon returning you
are given a new buffer with the contents of whatever you typed into the
editor pasted in.
