Does this mean somebody is likely to do it? It'd certainly make
backup/restore more reliable.
I'm almost at the point of asking for testers with the revised
pg_dump/pg_restore, so I'll go with what I have for now, but it would make
life a lot less messy. Since the new version *allows* table restoration
intermixed with metadata, and in any order, I need to update pg_class
repeatedly (I assume there may be system triggers that need to execute when
metadata is changed).
