Removing \da altogether was nowhere in the consensus, or even in the
discussion AFAIR. Also, what is the point of using single-letter
type codes when you've made the column header about as verbose as
it could get? I'd go for something like

Type

window
agg
trigger
normal

Or we could spell out "aggregate", but that makes the column a
couple of characters wider ...
