Well, the *first* thing to do is read pg_dump for awhile. Until you've
grokked what it does to support multiple backend versions and how it
handles inter-object dependencies (dump ordering problems), you won't be
able to write a spec that has any credibility. In particular, the
business about breaking circular dependency loops is something I have
no idea how to handle in a simple "dump library" API.
