Fair, and I do appreciate the confusion experienced. But I also think that
the whole flow of "I named my domain numeric and didn't see it in \dD" is
more of a feature than a bug. It ultimately made you aware of the shadowing
with the other base type named numeric and the idea that maybe naming a
domain that isn't a good idea - or that in doing so you at least need to
learn the consequences.
That, and given few complaints of this nature, and the fact we cannot at
this point change the policy that \d commands limit output based on
visibility, means the easy fixes to deal with this specific complaint are
unavailable even if they seem worthwhile (of which I have my doubts).
