I spent a couple evenings working on this, and have made good progress;
but looking at how much I've changed and how much remains, I'm forced
to realize that this is "too big a change for beta". It requires a
major restructuring of pg_dump. Since we don't have regression tests
for pg_dump, I think the risk of breaking something is too high for
this phase of the release cycle.
I plan to set the unfinished code aside for now, and come back to it
early in the 7.1 cycle. We'll have to live with the ordering issue
for another release.
