When you turn on \x mode for query output in psql, it wrecks the output of \d <table>, etc.
Should we change it so that the \d is unaffected by \x? What about for other \d commands?
Well, they asked for \x so why is it wrong for us to \x the \d output like we do now?
Because I have the feeling (back me up on this people) that most people who use it still want to be able to read their table definitions while working in \x mode. Who on earth would want \x to affect their table output??
Also, it doesn't affect the bit below the table, like indexes and constraints, so you have this wacky column output, then perfectly normal index and constraint display!
