I'm not sure what Christopher mentioned is the correct fix. The
information is displayed correctly in all places except where a
pg_get_.* function is used (indexes, constraints, etc.).

Those functions are tailored to what pg_dump requires (escaped
identifier: """vers""ion""") rather than what psql requires (unescaped
identifier: "vers"ion").

Right now psql shows a mix of both.
