In the end I decided to go with the flow and changed to use "first"
logic rather than "last".  I also figured that we should change the
other two places you pointed out at the start of the thread to use the
same coding style.  Since this is mostly cosmetic, I don't feel
compelled to back-patch it, and pushed only to master.

Another place I noticed while looking this over is psql's
describeOneTableDetails(), per the attached patch.  It's essentially
more of the same, but arguably different enough that I judged it
warranted posting before pushing.
