 Tom> --extra-float-digits seems fine as a name.

As far as I can tell, test.sh only uses the new version's pg_dump (in
fact the only binaries directly used from the old version are initdb and
pg_ctl).

... wait, this initdb in test.sh is using an option that doesn't exist
before pg11? Is the cross-version test actually using some different
script? Andrew?
