Any comments on this? It seems like a valid confusion. What solutions
are there?
A common interchangeable title for schema is namespace and in actuality we use \dn in psql (\dnamespace)
to list them.
Perhaps we should change the name? I believe Oracle uses the term namespace as well.

I think this is a suggestion/comment!
pg_dump man page:
--schema-only Dump only the schema (data definitions), no data
I think this use of the word schema is confusing, meaning data
definitions, whereas elsewhere in the man page schema are used as a
namespace definition.
--schema=schema Dump the contents of schema only. If this option is not speci- fied, all non-system schemas in the target database will be dumped
It would be nice if this could be a comman separated list (like set
search_path; A,info,public etc).
