Would it work to make \d tab-completable in a way that showed both the
commands that are available and the objects they describe? e.g.

\d<tab> would show something like
\dt [tables]    \ds [sequences]    \dv [views] ...

(the way it's shown now shows what completions are available, but not
what they mean.  Also, both \d and \D should be shown in any case)
