Re: comments on columns aren't displayed by \dd

Psql manual pages says:

              The command form \d+ is identical, but any comments
              associated  with  the  table  columns  are shown as
              well.

correctly. However \dd from the psql interactive monitor doesn't send a query to retrieve it (i.e. no join on
pg_attribute).
