Right, and -o is already taken in pg_upgrade for sending options to the
old postmaster.
What we are looking for are options for sending options to pg_dump and
pg_restore, which are not postmasters or children of postmaster, but
rather clients. There is no option to send options to clients of
postmasters.
So the question remains, how do we name this?
--pg-dump-options "<string>"
--pg-restore-options "<string>"
where "<string>" could be something like "--whatever[=NUM] [...]" would
be something unambiguous.
