Totally agree about the naming. There's no other terminology known to me, but I'll definitely think about it. Of course, I'm very open to suggestions from you or anyone else in the community.
The problem is that we are really tight on available letters for a bare \d. I immediately thought of "adult" tables (those that are not children). But both \da and \dA are used! The only other mnemonic option is "\de" where e stands for elder tables (get it? elder because they are not children).
How about:
\pset partition_roots_only 'true'
Then update all relevant queries to respect it.
That way no learning new ways to get the information you want but instead can set a global filter to suppress those child nodes that really don't need to be seen normally.
It would be nice if "N partition children suppressed due to partition_roots_only" would appear in the output somewhere if going this direction.
