Arguably this is a bug if it's causing pg_admin difficulties in parsing the
output. Even for a user in an environment where, for example, he has several
identical schemas and may be accidentally getting a different table than he's
expecting the current output is ambiguous.
Attached is a small patch which adds this conditionally on a guc that pg_admin
or other GUI tools could set, leaving it unchanged for users.
But it doesn't really seem like all that much clutter to add it to the scans
all the time:
