I asked on IRC if there was any way to make \d behave like \d+ by default, and 
davidfetter said no but suggest it here.

endpoint_david pointed out you could use \d- to get the old behavior if you 
wanted to temporarily negate the setting.

So the proposal would be:

\d+ does as it has always done, no change
\d- (new) always behaves like 'old' \d
\d  acts as 'old' \d or as \d+, depending on the setting of 'verbose_describe', 
set via \pset.

Default setting of verbose_describe would presumably yield 'old' behavior.

Motivation is that I like to see comments when they exist.  Probably useful for 
other reasons too.

Cheers -Terry
