Perhaps psql's "expanded" mode is close enough?
regression=# \x
Expanded display is on.
regression=# select * from unpivot;
-[ RECORD 1 ]---
intcol | 1
floatcol | 1.1
strcol | one
-[ RECORD 2 ]---
intcol | 2
floatcol | 2.2
strcol | two
-[ RECORD 3 ]---
intcol | 3
floatcol | 3.3
strcol | three
PS: I do not advise relying on ctid as a row identifier.
Use a proper primary key.
