I don't see anything about such commands in the spec ;-). These things
strike me as user-interface operations rather than something the backend
ought to provide on its own.
I am a bit surprised to note that psql doesn't seem to have any
backslash command for listing databases. Peter, what do you think?
Maybe "\db", seeing that \dd is already taken?
