Here is a patch for that for pg_dump. The sections provided for are
pre-data, data and post-data, as discussed elsewhere. I still feel that
anything finer grained should be handled via pg_restore's --use-list
functionality. I'll provide a patch to do the same switch for pg_restore
shortly.
Adding to the commitfest.
