Using \d on, say, information schema views is completely hilarious
because the column name/data type information is usually scrolled off
the screen by the immense view definition.

Could we change this perhaps so that the full view definition is only
shown with \d+ when the view definition is longer than N characters or N
lines or some other suitable cutoff. Ideas?
