Add \gdesc psql command. This command acts somewhat like \g, but instead of executing the query buffer, it merely prints a description of the columns that the query result would have. (Of course, this still requires parsing the query; if parse analysis fails, you get an error anyway.) We accomplish this using an unnamed prepared statement, which should be invisible to psql users.
