I don't think it's fair to simply discard the use cases provided as
"implausible" and demand one more to your liking. I strongly dislike
having a giant dump file written that has non-vital configuration
variables embedded in the top of it, precluding any user choice
whatsoever[1]. As before, where are the reports of all the people
having their manual restorations interrupted by a statement_timeout?
[1] Short of editing a potentially GB-size file, or using
some sed/shell shenanigans to strip out the suspect setting.
