Yeah, it's not very helpful. I'm not sure why we bothered to implement
that in the first place.

I'm more inclined to rip it out ;-). I don't think it's worth the
trouble. Keeping database comments someplace else than pg_description
is certainly *not* the way to go --- everything that reads them would
have to be tweaked too.

What does need to be added at the moment is COMMENT ON SCHEMA (a/k/a
namespace).
