RE: add \dpS to psq [16beta1]

Hi,
Thank you for developing a good feature.
I found while testing PostgreSQL 16 Beta 1 that the output of the \? metacommand did not include \dS, \dpS.
The attached patch changes the output of the \? meta command to:

Current output
psql=# \?
  \z      [PATTERN]      same as \dp
  \dp     [PATTERN]      list table, view, and sequence access privileges

Patched output
psql=# \?
  \dp[S]  [PATTERN]      list table, view, and sequence access privileges
  \z[S]   [PATTERN]      same as \dp

Regards,
Noriyoshi Shinoda

Agreed.

Thanks!
