\db+ and \l+ show sizes of tablespaces and databases, so I was surprised in the
past that \dn+ didn't show sizes of schemas. I would find that somewhat
convenient, and I assume other people would use it even more useful.
\db+ and \l+ seem to walk the filesystem, and this is distinguished from those
cases. (Also, schemas are per-DB, not global).
Maybe it's an issue if \dn+ is slow and expensive, since that's how to display
ACL. But \db+ has the same issue. Maybe there should be a \db++ and \dn++ to
allow \dn+ to showing the ACL but not the size.
pg_relation_size() only includes one fork, and the other functions include
toast, which should be in its separate schema, so it has to be summed across
forks.
