That's because it's not in your search_path. This would work:

regression=# \d information_schema.sql_features
Table "information_schema.sql_features"
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------
feature_id | information_schema.character_data |
feature_name | information_schema.character_data |
sub_feature_id | information_schema.character_data |
sub_feature_name | information_schema.character_data |
is_supported | information_schema.character_data |
is_verified_by | information_schema.character_data |
comments | information_schema.character_data |

or this:

regression=# \d *.sql_features
Table "information_schema.sql_features"
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------
feature_id | information_schema.character_data |
feature_name | information_schema.character_data |
sub_feature_id | information_schema.character_data |
sub_feature_name | information_schema.character_data |
is_supported | information_schema.character_data |
is_verified_by | information_schema.character_data |
comments | information_schema.character_data |

or add information_schema to search_path:

regression=# set search_path = "$user",public,information_schema;
SET
regression=# \d sql_features
Table "information_schema.sql_features"
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------------+----------------+-----------
feature_id | character_data |
feature_name | character_data |
sub_feature_id | character_data |
sub_feature_name | character_data |
is_supported | character_data |
is_verified_by | character_data |
comments | character_data |

> template1=# \dT+sql_features

\dt and \dT are entirely different things.
