That's an interesting point.

I think what I find most odd about all of this is that \dti and \dit
work at all, and give a different set of columns from \dt.  We don't
document that combining those works in \?, as far as I can see, and
other combinations don't work, just this.

In any case, I won't push very hard on this, it's useful information to
include and we should do so.

Thanks!
