Just seems like we'd be forcing non-standard syntax on ourselves when/if
CREATE DATABASE becomes CREATE SCHEMA; I would assume that the two
statements would become synonymous? Since this code is only for pg_dump,
polluting CREATE DATABASE even further seems like a bad idea. No big deal,
though.
[Minor aside: would 'FROM TEMPLATE' be better?]
Question: if I issue a "CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE 'my-favorite-db'"
will I just get a copy of the specified database, including data?
