Very nice, BUT: In the old psql the assumption was that operator comments
are keyed on the underlying function(s?). Since a lot of operators seem to
have comments on them by default, one would have to change this somehow.
Try \do and see for yourself. The fix should be rather simple but I'm not
sure where those descriptions are generated actually.
