I'm not so jazzed about this, as I work on systems that have literally
hundreds of child tables. When I do a \d on the master table, that's
not what I want to see. Frankly, a good naming system goes a long
way towards that, as children usually line up quick neatly in \d
output. Can we make this only showup in \d+ perhaps? Or not do
this at all? Or for \d, make it say "Use \d+ to view all children"?
