What about this.
1. Implement pg_get_foreignkey_def() or whatever
2. Adjust pg_dump to dump foreign keys using an ALTER statement
3. Back port the above to rel 7_2_2
4. Release a 7.2.2 version and ask that people upgrade to that version and
do a dump before they upgrade to 7.3.
5. All is well, plus ppl who don't want to switch to 7.3 on production get
all sorts of useful bug fixes as well.
