You've got to be kidding ;-)

Seriously though, isn't the purpose of schemas to make organization of
tables more convenient? It seems like dealing with schemas is a big
hassle. It'd be nice to have something like "\d", except for schemas,
to list the schemas that you've created, and an "alter schema"
statement to modify them.
