The proposed testing mechanism should cover any ALTER commands that
are in the regression tests provided that those objects are not
subsequently dropped -- because if the ALTER commands aren't replayed
properly, then the later pg_dump won't produce the same output.
There probably are some gaps in our current regression tests in this
area, but that's probably a good thing to fix regardless of this.
