No, there isn't...

You will not see that because first.simple is blocking your view of the
similarly-named tables behind it in the search path --- that is, if you
did "select * from simple" here, you'd get first.simple, not
second.simple nor third.simple. The only way to get at the latter two
is to explicitly give the schema name, which means they are effectively
not in your search path.
Plain \d is defined to show you only tables that are visible in your
search path, and not clutter the display with those that aren't.
You can use something like \d *.* if you want to see all tables without
regard to search path.
