Bug in psql/enum
Folks,
8.3's psql is ponderously unhelpful when getting the type description
of an enum, so I'd like to propose a new column in the \dT output
which can contain those values in an array format. Yes, I know it
looks like a new feature, but it's really a bug fix.
Cheers,
David.

Excellent point. How about stacking them together one per line? I
guess this would need to be one thing for Windows and another for
Everybody Else. How about putting it in the \dT+ output?
Cheers,
David.
