Are we happy with pg_dump/pg_restore not distinguishing these objects
by type?  It seems rather analogous to letting ALTER TABLE work on views
etc.  Personally I'm fine with this, but certainly some people have
complained about that approach so far as ALTER is concerned.  (But the
implication would be that we'd need four distinct switches, which is
not an outcome I favor.)

Also, I think you missed "MATERIALIZED VIEW DATA".

Also, shouldn't there be a documentation update?
