Sorry if was confusing but yes, that is what I intended by my second proposal.
I prefer it to my own first proposal or any of the others.

I admit I was thinking primarily of non-globbing cases for pattern. As in, I
would want \df rtrim to "work". I suppose it could be annoying to have to type
\df public.* -- there's nothing stopping us from having \dfU and \dfS too I
suppose, though I doubt most people would find them.
