Do you mean a plain "\d" (without an argument) should not list tables that
are partitions? I think that might be preferable. That would mean, we
list only the root partitioned tables with a plain "\d".
Regarding "\d parent", it does the same thing as regular inheritance, but
using the term "partition" instead of "child table". Without specifying a
+ (\d parent), one gets just "Number of partitions: # (Use \d+ to list
them.)" and with + (\d+ parent), one gets the full list of partitions
showing the partition bound with each.
