Don't you think queries should add a newline to the end of the results,
as is the standard here on Linux/UNIX?

E.g., the reality of the man page's

       o  Retrieve XML from the web and perform XPath query:

           $ basex -q 
"doc('https://raw.github.com/BaseXdb/basex/master/etc/test/input.xml')//li"
           <li>Exercise 1</li>
           <li>Exercise 2</li>

is that the cursor left sitting

           <li>Exercise 2</li>$ <--HERE

which is just crazy, unless one always appends an "echo",

           $ basex -q 
"doc('https://raw.github.com/BaseXdb/basex/master/etc/test/input.xml')//li"; 
echo

Do any other CLI database programs on Debian forget the newline? I don't
think so.

--no-newline should be added for those who insist...
