Subject: pg_dump -t '"Table"' for cmd.exe

I'm not sure if this is worth documenting, but pg_dumping mixed-case tables
with the '-t table' option appears to not be accurately documented
for cmd.exe. Here are my four attempts, with only the last as success:

Intuitive (supplying "My Table" like "My Database"), but not correct:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin\pg_dump.exe" -U postgres -t "My
Table" "My Database"
pg_dump: No matching tables were found

As documented in last example at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/app-pgdump.html
C:\>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin\pg_dump.exe" -U postgres -t '"My
Table"' "My Database"
pg_dump: No matching tables were found

Escaping quotes, but using single quotes:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin\pg_dump.exe" -U postgres -t '\"My
Table\"' "My Database"
pg_dump: too many command-line arguments (first is "My Database")

Escaping quotes, but using double quotes:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin\pg_dump.exe" -U postgres -t "\"My
Table\"" "My Database"

works!
