Or so I thought, anyway. Further experimentation with despez's example
shows that in HEAD, --schema is still able to block dumping of extension
config table contents, and the reason appears to be commit
a4cd6abcc901c1a8009c62a27f78696717bb8fe1, which added yet another set
of filtering conditions in a poorly chosen place; or possibly I should
say it made arbitrary changes in the definition of the --schema switch.
That patch needs some rethinking too, though I'm not sure what yet.
I also note that his example shows that if you have a selective dump
(say, with a -t switch), config table contents will be dumped even when
the owning extension is not. This seems like a pretty clear bug:
getExtensionMembership should not be creating TableDataInfo objects for
extension config tables if the owning extension is not to be dumped.
Barring objections, I'll go fix and back-patch that.
