I understood that, but a new user would not without a footnote. And
obviously, '*' is just an arbitrary character -- what would we use next to
say "this column is part of a table constraint"? I think this part is
very useful as it stands:

Hmm, shouldn't that be "foo_pkey(thread) (primary key)". I understand
what you meant about the brackets, but brackets aren't typically used in
writing and look artificial. Maybe something like
foo_pkey (thread) -- primary key
