Hint: sometimes easier is to run pg_dump -fc and then pg_restore -l to
create an object list and operate your filters on this list, then use
the resulting list with pg_restore -L
With GRANTS, which are one-liners, it works either way. But the general
approach works very well with any statement, think of multiline create
table, create function ...
