We need to keep in mind two more modifiers: S for system objects and x 
for eXtended mode.
So it may be looks like slightly awkward: \dSx+*

Another option is to use psql variable (for example ECHO_COMMENTS 
on/off) to force comments in \d* commands.

I'm not sure what option is better. But I like the idea of printing 
comments.
