OK, done and applied:

test=> \db
List of tablespaces
Name | Owner | Location
------------+----------+----------
pg_default | postgres |
pg_global | postgres |
temp | postgres | /bjm/tmp
(3 rows)

test=> \db+
List of tablespaces
Name | Owner | Location | Access privileges
------------+----------+----------+-----------------------------------
pg_default | postgres | |
pg_global | postgres | |

Tablespaces, being global, don't have comments so I didn't do that part.
