Hi Christoph,
The order does not matter, the user can use \dNt or \dtN, as they do exactly the same thing. Letters coming after \d can be freely permuted. If you mean a change to the documentation or tests, I can apply whatever order makes more sense, as I don't have any particular preference.

It's a shortcut for \dtiN. Similarly, \d is a shortcut for \dtvmsE. I'd like to keep a default because otherwise, we should err if the user types \dN without further qualifying it, and combining N with other letters (s, m, E, v, ...) while not including t & i would also result in error.

Your statement is correct, but bear with me to give the full version.
With \dN, you get all the tables and indexes that are not partitions.
* root tables
* non-partitioned tables
* indexes on root tables
* indexes on non-partitioned tables
For me, this is the top-level table and index structure in a database. It can be further restricted by adding t (\dNt or \dtN) to limit it to tables, and adding i (\dNi or \diN) to limit it to indexes.
Of course, other combinations like \dNvs are also supported.
