That's exactly what it does ... without an argument. The
non-orthogonality is that adding an argument changes the printout style,
instead of just determining which objects are displayed. See the psql
man page:
Note: If \d is used without a pattern argument, it is
equivalent to \dtvs which will show a list of all
tables, views, and sequences. This is purely a convenience measure.
