Seems to work here:

test=> select *
test-> /* 'test'
test*> */
test-> from pg_language;
lanname | lanispl | lanpltrusted | lanplcallfoid | lancompiler
----------+---------+--------------+---------------+-------------
internal | f | f | 0 | n/a
C | f | f | 0 | /bin/cc
sql | f | f | 0 | postgres
(3 rows)

psql \d+ command. Not sure if \dd works too.
