It might not be necessary to provide all the hints pg_dump to make queries.
The minimum required information is which security feature is running on
the server process, or nothing. And, pg_dump can add a security system
column within its queries to get security attribute, if required.
Now, I'm considering to add pgaceDumpSOMETHING() functions within pg_dump
for better modularity. What do you think?
