Agreed.

I am not sure that is an improvement. I would rather move things with 
less signal towards the end. Also how many examples have we of each? 
Most seem to be on the format below which I feel indicates [option...] 
is last (but before order dependent arguments like dbname.)

   pg_dump [connection-option...] [option...] [dbname]
