Thread: suggested wording improvement in psql

hello,

within pgsql in \? the command help there is:

  \du [PATTERN]  list users

the answer of "list users" is

----> List of roles

(since the introduction of rules), so I recommend updating the documentation to

  \du [PATTERN]  list roles (users)

Done.  I changed \dg the same way.  psql's SGML docs seem okay already.
