"whereclause" functionality and for the most part it does the job as described and I'm sure some people will find this
featureuseful to their database dump needs. However I tried the feature with a case where I have a subquery in the
whereclause, but it seems to be failing to dump the data. I ran the pg_dump like:

As this is being reviewed, but time is running out in this CF, I'm moving this

above review.
