The problem with this, IMV, is that it makes those lines more than 80 characters, whereas right now they are not.
84: \\d[S+] list (foreign) tables, (materialized) views, and sequences\n
76: \\d[S+] list (foreign) tables, (mat.) views, and sequences\n
And that line seems doomed to get even longer in the future.
Cross that bridge when we come to it?
Lumping the tables and views into a single label (I'd go with "relations" since these are all - albeit non-exclusively - things that can appear in a FROM clause) would greatly aid things here. Indexes and sequences would retain their own identities. But I seem to recall that elsewhere we call indexes relations - and I'm not sure about sequences.
I'm partial to calling it "relations and sequences" and letting the reader check the documentation for what "relations" means in this context.
