Ugh. If I want to see the syntax of my functions, I'd be forced to use the \df-+ syntax, and I'd argue people spend far more time wanting to see \df+ output on their own functions than they ever do on system functions.
imho the argument against \dfS is pretty weak. Letters are not only used as object specifiers, they are also used for setting field separators, html output, switching to and from expanded output, and listing table access permissions, among other things. Telling folks that the S modifier is for system objects mnemonic, simple, and FWIW keeps with backward compatability.
One thing is emerging from this thread: the \xyzk functionality is overloaded. Time to switch to something more human readable ?
