Is there an option for psql to use the entry in Comments for "pretty"
column headings in a report?  For example, instead of printing the
column name of "last" in the heading, the option would print "Last
Name" that is contained in the Comments field.

The only two alternatives I've found so far is to use "SELECT AS" or
to mangle the "\d+" output from psql with awk, which are both
cumbersome solutions, especially when a "select *" is possible.

Can anyone help?
