Hmm. What about adding a "suppress" setting or something like that?
Then people could alias psql to psql --suppress if it made their
lives easier? (FWIW, I agree with Tom. Suppressing stuff that \d
shows just makes people have to resort to grovelling through the
system tables themselves, after struggling with trying to figure out
why they couldn't see, oh, the I/O function. Ask me how I know for a
mini-rant about consistency in interfaces.)
