I don't think that Pavel believes himself to be in a hole.

After setting up my .psqlrc file as I normally do, I could do this:

:rtsize limit 10;

But it doesn't have the 'MB' feature, and if I want to help someone
else I first have to explain to them how to set their .psqlrc file the
same as mine, which is rather a bummer.

Is looking for the biggest tables a common enough thing that it should
be available to everyone, without needing custom customization?

Cheers,

Jeff
