Sure they do ... in fact, all the shared catalogs have one.

I think the idea of putting comments directly into pg_shadow and friends
is too icky to consider, though.  If we really wanted to support this
stuff then we'd make *one* shared table that is just like
pg_description, but is used for shared objects.
