Putting the \d commands into views has been on the TODO list for a long time:
I think it is actually the only psql-related item left, until we change
the backend protocol to indicate transaction state. I don't think a view
would have helped with the psql 7.2/7.3 change: a lot more changed than
simply the underlying SQL.
Some of the the backslash commands are not amenable to putting inside a
view, as they actually compromise multiple SQL calls and some logic in
the C code, but a few could probably be made into views. Could whomever
added that particular TODO item expand on this?
