[ After not replying to the proper question before, I will try again. :-) ]
The actual stripping of comments in psql is a little more complex. For
example, this will not strip:
SELECT /* test */ 1;
while this will strip comments:
SELECT 1; /* test */
and leading comments are not stripped either:
/* test */ SELECT 1;
so if the comment is _inside_ a query, it will be OK, but outside and
trailing, psql processes the comment itself so it can display the proper
prompting:
test=> /*
test*> test
^
test*> */
