That particular argument needs to be rejected vociferously.  Otherwise
we could never make any change at all in what pg_dump emits.  I think
the standard has to be "if you parse pg_dump output, it's on you to
cope with any legal SQL".

I do grasp Greg's larger point that this is a big change in pg_dump's
behavior and will certainly break some expectations.  I kind of lean
to the position that we'll be sad in the long run if we don't change
the default, though.  What other part of pg_dump's output is not
produced by default?
