Sorry for not doing due diligence.  These aren't the droids I was looking looking for.  I'm moving along.

I had tuples_only (which killed the captions) and expanded on, so that the results, which were guaranteed to have a
singlerow, would look nice instead of having a "Record 1" prefix.  This is a very special case, and not worth doing
anythingabout, unless it bothers someone that a single row result is prefaced with "Record 1" in expanded mode. 

I was doing reports like this:

\pset expanded
\pset footer
\pset format html
\pset tuples_only

\C 'All Samples'
select (select count(distinct blinded_id) from core_person) as "Individuals",      (select count(*) from core_sample)
as"Samples",      (select count(distinct uploaded_data_file_id) from core_samplefile) as "Genomic files mapped to a
sample/person",     (select count(distinct sample_id) from core_samplefile) as "Samples with genomic files",
(selectcount(distinct person_id) from core_samplefile join core_sample on core_samplefile.sample_id = core_sample.id)
as"Individuals with genomic files",      (select count(distinct person_id) from core_blindfile) as "Individuals with
analysisfiles"; 

\pset expanded
\pset footer
\pset format aligned
\pset tuples_only
