Yeah, that sounds fine to me. I've revised the residual patch to do
so, as well as incorporated your earlier suggestion about having \dD
and \dc only display descriptions in verbose-mode.

I did more testing, and found and fixed some brokenness related to
d.objsubid I had introduced into the listConversions() query, as well
as improved the version checking in objectDescription(). Updated patch
attached.
