The psql system object display issue has not been completely resolved
for 8.4; see 8.4 open items:

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_8.4_Open_Items#Changes

So what is the proposal? Have U/S/A flags for all commands and have
different system display default for each command?

I think this:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-01/msg01443.php

makes a strong argument that having a pattern control system object
display will be too confusing.

FYI, right now 'S' is "include-system"; we have no system-only display
option.
