I see one vote in favor of its inclusion on the grounds it is a bug not
to support multiple -t parameters. However, is someone objects I will

Your patch has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list at:
http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches
It will be applied as soon as one of the PostgreSQL committers reviews
and approves it.
