Waiting for PostgreSQL 13 – Add %x to default PROMPT1 and PROMPT2 in psql

On 12nd of February 2020, Michael Paquier committed patch:

Add %x to default PROMPT1 and PROMPT2 in psql
 
%d can be used to track if the current connection is in a transaction
block or not, and adding it by default to the prompt has the advantage
to not need a modification of .psqlrc, something not possible depending
on the environment.
 
This discussion has happened across various sources, and there was a
strong consensus in favor of this change.
