No: apb=> GRANT SELECT ON TABLE maras2.esya TO "PUBLIC"; ERROR: user "PUBLIC" does not exist apb=> GRANT SELECT
ONTABLE maras2.esya TO 'PUBLIC'; ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "'PUBLIC'" at character 38 apb=> GRANT
SELECTON TABLE maras2.esya TO public; GRANT apb=>
The problem here is case conversion from capital "I" to lower-case "i".
In Turkish locale tolower('I') is not equal to 'i'. So, since "public" role
is lower-case internally, why would we not make it lower-case in dump file.

I stand corrected. It is indeed has to be double-quoted.
7.3 is quoting only SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION 'role' clause in my dump.
Possibly,
because it has been added recently. Old code does not quote anything.
