I see.

I still find that confusing. What finish() method? Yes, there's a
finish() method in IPC::Run, but that's BackgroundPsql's internal
affair, not exposed to the callers in any other way. And why do I care
what that finish() returns for 0 exit status? That's not visible to the
quit method's caller.

Perhaps sommething like this:

"Close the psql session and clean up resources. Each psql session must
be closed with C<quit> before the end of the test.
Returns TRUE if psql exited successfully (i.e. with zero exit code),
otherwise returns FALSE and reports a test failure. "

Would that be accurate?
