Yes it does. We have only painfully gotten to the point of having
consistent behavior across all the \d commands. We are not going
to break that consistency before it's even shipped.
Perhaps more to the point: the previous round of discussion about this
already rejected the idea of treating window functions as a category
fundamentally separate from plain functions --- that is, we are not
following the "aggregate" model of having separate commands for
aggregate functions. So it's not apparent to me that a separate \dw
command is a good solution to start with.
