What I've imagined for a long time is psql being able to display each
row in more than one line; for example something like
\df
Listado de funcionesEsquema | Nombre | Tipo de dato de salida | TipoTipos de datos de
argumentos
---------+-------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------public
| bt_metap | record | normalrelname text, OUT magic integer, OUT version integer, OUT root
integer,OUT level integer, OUT fastroot integer, OUT fastlevel integer
---------+-------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------public
| bt_page_items | SETOF record | normalrelname text, blkno integer, OUT itemoffset smallint, OUT ctid
tid,OUT itemlen smallint, OUT nulls boolean, OUT vars boolean, OUT data text
---------+-------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So it's not as horizontally-wasteful as expanded, but it's much more
readable than aligned.
