Show type in psql SELECT

Hi hackers,

Type info can be viewed with "\d mytable", however often I'd like to see
the type (and typmod) info in SELECT queries with psql, similar to pgAdmin
III. For example:

my_db=# \pset type
my_db=# SELECT * FROM my_table;
gid | description | width
integer | character varying(255) | numeric(6,3)
---------+------------------------+--------------
1 | Hello | 3.220
(1 row)

or in expanded form:

my_db=# \x
my_db=# SELECT * FROM my_table;
-[ RECORD 1 ]------
gid : integer | 1
description : character varying(255) | Hello
width : numeric(6,3) | 3.220

Has anyone else thought this was a missing feature?
