I would think it would be better to keep everything under a single command and
have a 1-1 correspondence to \d. Ie, just add a long form syntax following the
existing \d. \d would become just an obvious set of abbreviations.
So for example:
\describe table foo => \dt foo
\describe index foo => \di foo
\describe aggregate foo => \da foo
\describe operator foo => \do foo
...
