If I add a wait (select, poll, etc.), then I can't control-C during the
blocking call, so it doesn't really solve the problem. On Linux, we have
signalfds which seem like the perfect solution to this problem, "wait on
the pq socket or SIGINT." But that doesn't translate well to other
operating systems :(.

You can see here that I can't terminate the command. Where you see
"Terminated" is me running `kill $(pgrep psql)` in another terminal.

After switching to cancel_pressed, I don't think so. See this bit of
code in the psql main loop:

The more I look at this, the more I don't understand... I need to look
at this harder, but wanted to get this email out. Switched to
cancel_pressed though. Thanks for pointing it out. Going to wait to send
a v2 while more discussion occurs.
