Tom Lane 83884682f4 psql: include intra-query "--" comments in what's sent to the server.
psql's lexer has historically deleted dash-dash (single-line) comments
from what's collected and sent to the server.  This is inconsistent
with what it does for slash-star comments, and people have complained
before that they wish such comments would be captured in the server log.
Undoing the decision completely seems like too big a behavioral change,
however.  In particular, comments on lines preceding the start of a
query are generally not thought of as being part of that query.

What we can do to improve the situation is to capture comments that
are clearly *within* a query, that is after the first non-whitespace,
non-comment token but before the query's ending semicolon or backslash
command.  This is a nearly trivial code change, and it affects only a
few regression test results.

(It is tempting to try to apply the same rule to slash-star comments.
But it's hard to see how to do that without getting strange history
behavior for comments that cross lines, especially if the user then
starts a new query on the same line as the star-slash.  In view of
the lack of complaints, let's leave that case alone.)

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
