comments on columns aren't displayed by \dd

Stephen van Egmond (svanegmond@home.com) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
comments on columns aren't displayed by \dd

Long Description
Comments on columns appear to be broken.  CREATE COMMENT ON COLUMN inserts stuff into the backend pg_* tables
correctly. However \dd from the psql interactive monitor doesn't send a query to retrieve it (i.e. no join on
pg_attribute).

I am working from the Debian package postgresql-client 7.0.3-2.

Sample Code
create table foo (a text);
cmment on column foo.a is 'hello!';
\dd foo.a

Psql manual pages says:

              The command form \d+ is identical, but any comments
              associated  with  the  table  columns  are shown as
              well.

The + options to psql are sort of COMMENT additions to the backslash
commands.

Thank you for the response, Bruce.  I was working from the HTML docs
for COMMENT ON  [1] where only \dd is mentioned.  \d+ doesn't occur in the
\? psql help either.
