Dept of second thoughts: actually, perhaps see if you can generate
the pg_description entries from the C comments in the
include/catalog header files. There's already a strong motivation
to hold those to shorter-than-a-line length, whereas the column
descriptions in catalogs.sgml tend to run on a little longer, and
wouldn't format nicely in \dt+.
My thought is that by the time somebody is doing \dt+ (or equivalent
in other tools than psql) on a pg_catalog table or view, they need to
see details and are at most slightly concerned about the formatting.
And not all tools have this formatting issue...
I like the long comments I can take from pg_settings, enabling pgAdmin
to deliver precise information on each config option.
