This has been requested before:

One of the problems is what should be included.
Indexes? Policies? Constraints?
Another problem is that while a function or view definition is a single
SQL statement, a table definition could consist of more than a single
statement, depending on the answer to the previous question.
No unsurmountable questions, but someone would have to come up with a
clear design and implement it.
