Folks,

Before I dive into this, is there some reason why the pg_catalog.*
tables/views should not have comments that match the descriptions in
the docs?  I can see where this could cause some maintenance issues,
and those probably need to be addressed, but it sure would be nice if
\d+ pg_depend pulled up something like:

          Table "pg_catalog.pg_depend"
   Column    |  Type   | Modifiers | Description
-------------+---------+-----------+-------------
 classid     | oid     | not null  | The OID of the system catalog the 
dependent object is in
 objid       | oid     | not null  | The OID of the specific dependent object
 objsubid    | integer | not null  |  For a table column, this is the column 
number (the objid and classid refer to the table itself). For all other object 
types, this column is zero.
 refclassid  | oid     | not null  | The OID of the system catalog the 
referenced object is in
 refobjid    | oid     | not null  | The OID of the specific referenced object
 refobjsubid | integer | not null  |  For a table column, this is the column 
number (the refobjid and refclassid refer to the table itself). For all other 
object types, this column is zero.
 deptype     | "char"  | not null  |  A code defining the specific semantics of 
this dependency relationship; see text.

Cheers,
D

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
