I had imagined that pg_dump would emit commands such as this:
CREATE SCHEMA foo CREATE TABLE bar ( ... ) CREATE otherthings
;
which is how I read the SQL standard. Are there plans to implement the
CREATE SCHEMA command that way? I think I recall someone from Toronto
mentioning something along these lines.
Obviously, this command style would be mostly equivalent to temporarily
setting the search path. We'd also need alter schema, which SQL doesn't
have.

Interesting ... Is that only temporary? (since you say "present"
semantics)
