commit    2d19f13773cac817ff254954142a458a256e8232

    Doc: clarify behavior of back-half options in pg_dump.
    
    Options that change how the archive data is converted to SQL text
    are ignored when dumping to archive formats.  The documentation
    previously said "not meaningful", which is not helpful.
