\d with wildcards doesn't say which table is which #1521
Description
If \d is given a pattern with a wildcard, the details for multiple tables may be displayed — but there's nothing labelling which details are for which table.
For example:
sqlparsetemplate1> \d pg_time*
┌────────────┬──────────┬───────────┐
│ Column │ Type │ Modifiers │
├────────────┼──────────┼───────────┤
│ abbrev │ text │ │
│ utc_offset │ interval │ │
│ is_dst │ boolean │ │
└────────────┴──────────┴───────────┘
┌────────────┬──────────┬───────────┐
│ Column │ Type │ Modifiers │
├────────────┼──────────┼───────────┤
│ name │ text │ │
│ abbrev │ text │ │
│ utc_offset │ interval │ │
│ is_dst │ boolean │ │
└────────────┴──────────┴───────────┘
Time: 0.048s
The pg_time* pattern has matched the table names pg_timezone_abbrevs and pg_timezone_names so listed the columns in each of them, but it doesn't indicate which is which.
This is in pgcli version 4.3.0.

Title doesn't seem to be passed while describing the relation, which seems to be the issue.
