pg_dump should reload a database as it was stored in the previous database.
If your old data is not clean, pg_dump / restore is not a very good tool for
cleaning it up. I think ignoring contrains is a good thing if it will load
the data faster (at least when you are doing a database backup / restore).
Why can't we do all alter table commands (that add constraints) after we load
the data, that way we don't need to alter syntax at all.
