Harald Armin Massa (ghum@gmx.net) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
request for improvement of /? to show /d+ /l+ commands

Long Description
Postgres has the EXCELLENT feature

COMMENT on <objekt> "My best description ever"

And there are also the very very usefull commands /d+ and /l+ to actually SEE these comments. But: they are hidden deeply in the documentation; I suggest to include them in the online psql-help shown by \?

Sample Code
Not needed

Re: Bug #718: request for improvement of /? to show /d+ /l+

I am not sure how to do that. \? is already pretty full on the screen.
Ideas?
