I disagree. Most users, most of the time, do not want to see system
objects. So all of the \d commands should omit system objects by
default, and we should have one consistent switch across all \d commands
to include system objects.
Actually, I personally would prefer a *general* switch, that is:
\system on
\system off
... which would turn on and off the display of system objects with all
\d commands, over extending \d with an array of Hungarian notation suffixes.
