I'm pretty strongly opposed to this. What's the limiting factor when adding such information? I think clients that want something like this ought to query the database for catalog information when getting schema information.
I'm not intimately familiar with their code. I will query them more about the ask.
I am curious why you are "strongly" opposed however. We already have the information. Adding doesn't seem onerous.
