Excellent idea. :)

Is this worth breaking backward compatibility for?  IMHO, yes, but
others may have good reasons--critical-path psql scripts, e.g.--for
not doing it.

BTW, while I working out an example for CREATE DOMAIN
(http://fetter.org/sgml/sql-createdomain.html), I found that \dD and
\dD+ appear to do the exact same thing.  I was hoping that \dD+ would
show all CONSTRAINTs.

Cheers,
