At the end though, we'd need to dump stuff not caught be the topsort, for
cases where pg_depend has been messed with.

Problem is you'd need to sort tables by the youngest column in the table,
which is a pain.  Because the main problem is this:

CREATE TABLE...

CREATE TYPE newtype

ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN newtype

That always breaks...
