I have added this to the TODO list:

* Have psql \dn show only visible schemas using current_schemas()

I know there was talk of showing all schemas only in admin mode, but I
don't think we want to implement different behavior until we have a more
practical reason to have such a mode distiction. Of course, \dn will
have to be documented that is supresses non-visible schemas, and admins
can always do a select from pg_namespace.
