Is not so simple here, because we have to try to complete this query
with all attributes and functions, and there can be just too many
different attname in the database. For example, with 100.000 tables
you probably should wait for more than one second for a psql
background query to complete (and you cannot cancel it too!). So this
is very questionable if this feature is worth it.
