Thread: psql table comments?

I have just noticed that \d+ tablename doesn't show the table 
comment/description - should it? Is this a TODO?

cheers

\dt+ tablename shows this, in what is probably a more convenient format
than \d+ would be able to use.  The \d printout is already awfully
cluttered, I don't think we want to add stuff to it unnecessarily.
