Uh, what? The issue is that:

pg_dump -t some_non_existent_table_name

produces an empty dump (well, it has a 3 lines of comments, but no SQL).
Similarly:

pg_dump -n some_non_existent_schema_name

also produces an empty dump. I'm asking if that's the correct behavior:
perhaps we should throw an error instead?

Cheers,

Neil
