Broadly, I suggest making the output format match as exactly as
possible what commands like COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL accept as
input. We've already confronted all of these notational issues there.Columns are identified as COLUMN table.name;
functionsas FUNCTION
function_name(argtypes); etc. Of course it's fine to split the object
type off into a separate column, but it should have the same name here
that it does there.
