All constraints are named like that already, and NOT NULL constraints
just inherited the same idea. The names are <table>_<column>_not_null
for NOT NULL constraints. pg_dump goes great lengths to avoid printing
constraint names when they have this pattern.
I do not want these constraint names cluttering the output either.
That's why I propose moving them to a new \d++ command, where they will
only bother you if you absolutely need them. But so far I have only one
vote supporting that idea.
