I don't like the 3-table format either. I think it should be a single table.

The trouble with v35 is that it produces 1 row with lots of columns,
which is pretty unreadable unless expanded mode is used. So I think we
should just do it that way round by default -- i.e., make it like
\dconfig and have 2 columns, "Parameter" and "Value", with lots of
rows.

Perhaps it could also have a "Description" column, which might help
with things like distinguishing between authenticated user and session
user.
