One small problem with the examples you give is that the shell would
immediately strip all the double-quotes.  By the time you've made it
shell-safe it's pretty ugly.

See also the pg_dump switches for selecting tables, which are a lot
more sophisticated than reindexdb or the other clients have got.
If anything at all is done in this area, it should be compatible
with what pg_dump does.
