Seems reasonable to me. There shouldn't ever be a dot in the argument
of \dn.

This doesn't seem especially helpful to me, because you'd have to fit a
bunch of different object types into a one-size-fits-all output, which
would end up fitting nothing very well. You can get the effect with
\d schema_name.*
\df schema_name.*
\do schema_name.*
\da schema_name.*
etc
It's not clear to me that we need do more, especially since the user
probably knows what kinds of objects he's created, and can skip
unnecessary steps.
