Must admit I thought you were wrong, but having tested it, I think I see 
what you mean.

If the schema in question is in the search_path then it doesn't get 
displayed. If you've forgotten what your search_path is set to then that 
can cause confusion.

Not a problem I see much of since I very rarely change my search_path. I 
 refer to schema.table by preference.
