Just thinking some more about the idea to get all those post-
processing steps running in parallel, it's occurring to me that we
have all we need already: would it be possible for pg_migrator to
issue a schema only script with a catalog, in the custom archive format?
Then we could use pg_restore -j <whatever> post_migrator.script to run
the last migration step.
Of course, people will want the custom script output of pg_migrator to
be optional, I guess.
