That's great. That said, I'm not opposed to a DESCRIBE server-side
command, and others have shown some interest too. However, the thread
and commitfest entry at hand refer to a new psql command \describe,
which is completely unrelated. So I suggest we should close this CF
entry as Returned with Feedback, and wait until Corey comes back with a
server-side patch for DESCRIBE. I don't see the point of keeping a
\describe item alive if the patch we ultimately end up doing is
something completely different.
