Yeah, there is already an awful lot of output from regular old \d

Typically, I get indexes, check constraints, foreign key constraints,
and triggers.  It's not real easy to read.  It would be nice if there
were a way to suppress this output or only show the part you're
interested in at the moment, but it's hard to think of what syntax
might be reasonable.
