It doesn't seem to me that this buys much except verboseness, though.
ISTM there are three fundamental problems with \d and friends:
1. Some people have a hard time remembering the commands.2. Some people aren't using psql.3. psql keeps breaking across
backendversions because the needed commands change.
I don't see a lot of value in addressing just one of these problem
areas, when we could instead do something that addresses all three.
