Comments on columns in the pg_catalog tables/views

Folks,

Before I dive into this, is there some reason why the pg_catalog.*
tables/views should not have comments that match the descriptions in
the docs? I can see where this could cause some maintenance issues,
and those probably need to be addressed, but it sure would be nice if
\d+ pg_depend pulled up something like:

Table "pg_catalog.pg_depend"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Description
-------------+---------+-----------+-------------
classid | oid | not null | The OID of the system catalog the dependent object is in
objid | oid | not null | The OID of the specific dependent object
objsubid | integer | not null | For a table column, this is the column number (the objid and classid refer to the table itself). For all other object types, this column is zero.
refclassid | oid | not null | The OID of the system catalog the referenced object is in
refobjid | oid | not null | The OID of the specific referenced object
refobjsubid | integer | not null | For a table column, this is the column number (the refobjid and refclassid refer to the table itself). For all other object types, this column is zero.
deptype | "char" | not null | A code defining the specific semantics of this dependency relationship; see text.

Cheers,
D
