This is not at all what Simon proposed. He wants to make it a backend
command, not a psql command.
I don't have a horse in the race, particularly. If we really want more
utility commands, my preference would be to concentrate on those that
are hard rather than those that could be easily done, e.g. a command
that would give you the SQL necessary to create a given object.
