I was wondering in the past if it would simply be better to have an
.SQL script which is submitted to the template1 database at
post-initdb time with COMMENT ON statements to document built-in
types, functions, system relations, etc. I should, after all, be
able to issue a "\d+ pg_class" in psql and get a description of the
columns. The .SQL script could potentially contain COMMENT ON
statements localized to the language in which the database is
installed, but it wouldn't care what OIDs were assigned (if any) to
the various objects being documented.
