After extensive off-list discussion with Joel it became clear that
per-object dumping ability really belongs in pg_restore.
The only benefit I could see in putting it in pg_restore is you would then
be able to do a --split on already existing historical dumps.
On the other hand, it would require you to use both pg_dump and pg_restore,
instead of only pg_dump, which makes it a bit less user-friendly.
I haven't looked at how it could be implemented in pg_restore, if its even just
a little more complex, it's probably better to let pg_dump handle the task.
