As discussed in the thread at [1], I've been working on redesigning
the tables we use to present SQL functions and operators.  The
first installment of that is now up; see tables 9.30 and 9.31 at

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/functions-datetime.html

and table 9.33 at

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/functions-enum.html


As I write this the enum headers are centered horizontally while the datetime ones are left aligned.  The centering doesn't do it for me.  To much gap and the data itself is not centered so there is a large disconnected between the header and the value.

The run-on aspect of the left-aligned setup is of some concern but maybe just adding some left padding to the second column - and right padding to the first - can provide the desired negative space without adding so much as to break usability.
