As I see it, there are two independent issues here: * "Smart" display based on number of columns in the query and the psql window * Whether to display the view definition. I'm thinking on the second, \d should not display the definition, and \d+ should. On the first...could we go to \x-type display if the columns will overflow the terminal?
