I found a few issues.

\dP+ didn't work.  Fix attached.

+static const SchemaQuery Query_for_list_of_partitioned_relations = {
                         
 
+       .catname = "pg_catalog.pg_class c",
                         
 
+       .selcondition = "c.relkind = " CppAsString2(RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE),
                         
 

=> Should it be called Query_for_list_of_partitioned_tables ?  Or should
c.relkind match indices, too ?

I think there's an issue with showing indices.  You said that \dP should be
same as \dPti, no?  Right now, indices are not shown in \dP, unless a pattern
is given.  I see you add that behavior in the regression tests; is that really
what's intended ?  Also, right now adding a pattern affects how sizes are
computed, I don't see why that's desirable or, if so, how to resolve that
inconsistency, or how to document it.
