That's a neat trick. The display in the interactive *SQL* (for me anyway)
is a bit buggy (some newlines are not being inserted where I would expect
them), but this is only a minor annoyance. Being able to execute a chunk of
buffer on the spot like that is just awesome. (I like Ctrl-C Ctrl-C OK, but
I like Ctrl-C Ctrl-R even more.)

Thanks!
