MySQL console: Ctrl+C driving me nuts

There is something in the MySQL console that drives me nuts. When I hit ctrl+c to cancel the current command being typed, the terminal exits. In every terminal I know (*nix terminals, Python, PostgreSQL), ctrl+c cancels the current command and ctrl+d exits the terminal. This issue has been reported at 2003 , and bumped several times since. Is there a way to: * Change this behaviour, or * Convince the MySQL dev team that this is really annoying?
