You know, there's an easy answer to what to set the defaults to, though
it might be a bit cheesy- how about the current behavior? Adding
functionality (+U or +S or whatever) without breaking backwards
compatibility (much).
I'm not a huge fan of having \df still list system functions, but it's
less of an issue if I can just do \dfU when I want. Of course, for a
year or two I'll probably be cursing this thread whenver I pick the
wrong one, but that's life. ;)
In response to a comment earlier- I definitely like the idea of
pre-pending system calls that aren't really 'published' with a 'pg_'.
That probably raises some backwords compatability problems, but I still
think it's a good idea to try and do at some point.
