>>>Original request by me


When executing a query using \watch in psql the first execution of the query includes "Title is [...]" when \pset title is in use.  Subsequent executions do not.  Once that first display goes off-screen the information in the title is no longer readily accessible.  If using \watch for a long-running monitoring query it can be helpful to incorporate some context information into the title.

​And the example:
OK, attached is an updated patch. How does that look?

This is a medium length title
