Could someone clarify why this (from PG 8.4)
# \du List of roles Role name | Attributes | Member of
---------------+-------------+------------admin | Create role | {} : Create DBpostgres |
Superuser | {} : Create role : Create DBsomeotheruser | | {}someuser |
| {}
is an improvement over this (from PG 8.3)
# \du List of roles Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections |
---------------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+------------admin | no | yes
|yes | no limit | {}postgres | yes | yes | yes | no limit | {}someotheruser | no
| no | no | no limit | {}someuser | no | no | no | no limit | {}

The way I see it, a perfectly clear, complete, and legible table has
been turned into a denormalized, unreadable, and ugly pile of ASCII
salad that moreover wastes valuable vertical screen space instead of
using the abundant horizontal screen space.
