My reaction to this is "you've *got* to be kidding". You're going
to put it on the user to remember which extensions are which, or
else he gets an unusable dump? I don't think we should have a switch
like this at all. pg_dump should do the right thing for each extension
without being told.
And, once more, I think keeping the dump behavior for extensions as-is
and inventing a different concept for the script-file-substitutes would
be better than conflating the cases.
