Change psql's \dd command to do something more useful.
Instead of displaying comments on an arbitrary subset of the object types which support them, make \dd display comments on exactly those object types which don't have their own backlash commands. We now regard the display of comments as properly the job of the relevant backslash command (though many of them do so only in verbose mode) rather than something that \dd should be responsible for. However, a handful of object types have no backlash command, so make \dd give information about those. Josh Kupershmidt
