Good question. psql \dT shows descriptions, but \df does not, only
\df+, so that doesn't give us a pattern.
We could add a VERBOSE option to SHOW ALL to show descriptions, but that
seems like overkill.
I have applied your patch that show descriptions for SHOW ALL, but not
for SHOW varname. That seems like the cleanest solution. I also
updated the documentation to mention SHOW ALL includes descriptions.
Any modification suggestions from the group?
