    Example:
    
    test=# \d test
         Table "public.test"
     Column |  Type   | Modifiers
    --------+---------+-----------
     a      | integer | not null
    Indexes:
        "test_pkey" PRIMARY KEY btree (a)
    Check Constraints:
        "$2" CHECK (a > 1)
    Foreign Key Constraints:
        "$1" FOREIGN KEY (a) REFERENCES parent(b)
    Rules:
        myrule AS ON INSERT TO test DO INSTEAD NOTHING
    Triggers:
        "asdf asdf" AFTER INSERT OR DELETE ON test FOR EACH STATEMENT EXECUTE
    PROCEDURE update_pg_pwd_and_pg_group(),
        mytrigger AFTER INSERT OR DELETE ON test FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE
    update_pg_pwd_and_pg_group()
    
    I have minimised the double quoting of identifiers as much as I could
    easily, and I will submit another patch when I have time to work on it that
    will use a 'fmtId' function to determine it exactly.
    
    I think it's a significant improvement in legibility...
    
    Obviously the table example above is slightly degenerate in that not many
    tables in production have heaps of (non-constraint) triggers and rules.
