This has been requested before:

One of the problems is what should be included.
Indexes?  Policies?  Constraints?

Another problem is that while a function or view definition is a single
SQL statement, a table definition could consist of more than a single
statement, depending on the answer to the previous question.

No unsurmountable questions, but someone would have to come up with a
clear design and implement it.

Yours,
