Have you considered using domains for these types? You can comment
the domain appropriately. While the domain description will not show
in \d+. to get the description you can do \dT on the domain.
Based on your background I also think you might appreciate domains
from a design perspective. There are a couple of disadvantages to
using them so I'd suggest reading about them.
