Maybe I'm atypical, but I'm probably going to use tab completion
either way, so it's not really more keystrokes.

Same here, because after tab-completing \dcon\t\t into \dconfig, I'm likely to 
also tab-complete to get the list of parameters.  I frequently can't recall the 
exact spelling of them.

This seems like the only "\d" command that would require tab completion, given all the others are far less descriptive (\dt, \dv, etc.) And at least from my user perspective, if I ever need anything other than \dt, I typically have to go to \? to look it up.

I'm generally in favor of consistency, though in case skewing towards what we expose to the user. If "\dconfig" gives a bit more across the board, I'm OK with that. "\dparam" could be a bit confusing to end users ("parameter for what?") so I'm -1 on that.
