There's no possibility to do that right now. But I'm not against having
such an option.

That's not a limitation of wxWidgets. It's doable in 2/3 hours of work.
Not sure we really want to add a workaround for this. And actually, this
is not a bug in pgAdmin. psql and surely quite a lot of tools don't do
that write. In psql's specific case, I think it's already fixed.

Anyway, as already stated, I'm not against adding such an option. It's
quite simple to add, but it is another option to add on an already
filled dialog.

Perhaps, I don't know quite a lot about BOM.

psql 9.0 knows how to handle this.

Much less for you, right. Doesn't mean everyone has the same opinion.
And removing something is usually not appreciated.
