Thank you for going through these examples.

I am open to that idea, I just want to get it right, because probably
whatever the default is in 18 will stay that way.
Also, we will need to think through the set of pg_dump options again. A
lot of our tools seem to assume that "if it's the default, we don't
need a way to ask for it explicitly", which makes it a lot harder to
ever change the default and keep a coherent set of options.

I suggest that we wait a bit to see what additional feedback we get
early in beta.

That's an interesting point. What tools are currrently trying to parse
pg_dump output?
