Tinkering a bit more: The `INHERIT` attribute is also not shown - only
the negative form. Therefore:

I assume now, that `psql` only show these attributes, which are not in
the default state as explained in the `CREATE ROLE` page.

Explaining that an showing the possibly shown values in the mentioned
sections of `psql` would be a good idea.
