I am thinking so our psql interface is not complete without this
feature in this are. But, sure, it is my opinion only.

Everybody know command \dt and then should to learn only one char more
"s" or "r".

In this time, we use (in GoodData) patch, that change order for \dt+
from alphabet to size ordered. But it is too limited.
