\d+ propgraph prints the definition of property graph. I find \dG
similar to \di which doesn't print the structure of an index. Instead
\d+ <index name> prints it.

In the attached patch series I have added patch 0008 to remove
unnecessary header

It still prints an extra line but I haven't found a way to eliminate
it. Hence 0008 is WIP. I have listed TODOs in the commit message of
that patch.

Done. The fix is part of 0001 now.

here's patchset rebased on 792b2c7e6d926e61e8ff3b33d3e22d7d74e7a437
with conflicts in rowsecurity.sql/out fixed.

This is same as the previous patchset.

0006 in the attached patch series completes this work. Now we find the
equality operators to be used for vertex-edge quals and save it in
pg_propgraph_element catalog and also add a dependency between the
edge element and the equality operators.

0008 - has WIP fix for \d and \d+
