I'm not for that: it's useless information in at least 99.44% of cases.

Possibly it is useful in the other direction as Justin suggests.
Not sure though --- generally, if you're looking at a specific
toast table, you already know which table is its parent.  But
maybe confirmation is a good thing.

That seems off-topic for this thread though.  I agree with the
stated premise that \d on a toast table should show all the same
information \d on a regular table would.
