Re: Bug in psql

Isn't it obvious? Two help items with the same help description doesn't
tell you which one you need. And if you saved the output of a list... blah
blah, then recalling help with \?, you won't be told necessarily how to run
blah blah list, because the names of the lists and the help are different.
If I saw somewhere on the web, the output of psql entitled "List of
relations" which command would run that, given that a dozen or so commands
are titled "List of relations", even though they are not that at all.
