ISTM even a GUC to enable/disable would have been better scheme than

I think Robert is right here and the new behaviour is a step backwards.
Should we revert the patch for the time being, and take another go at it
in 8.2?
One idea is to hack \d not to honor \x, and let the others honor it.
That would probably hit most of the cases people will use in 8.1.
In fact, \d is pretty special because it is more of a group of outputs,
unlike \df, which is a single table output.
+1 from me. That seems like a workable compromise and should probably
meet the needs of the author of the patch to change the \x behavior.
