This patch confuses me.  In the first place, I don't see the argument for
adding the "all tables" property to \dRp output; it seems out of place
there.  In the second place, this really fails to respond to what I'd call
the main usability problem with \dRp+, which is that the all-tables
property is likely to lead to an unreadably bulky list of affected tables.
What I'd say the patch ought to do is *replace* \dRp+'s list of affected
tables with a notation like "(all tables)" when puballtables is true.
