Re: pg_dump new feature: exporting functions only. Bad or good idea ?

I feel a bit uncomfortable about sticking this sort of limited-purpose
selectivity mechanism into pg_dump.  I'd rather see a general filter
method that can select object(s) of any type.  Pavel was doing some
work towards that awhile ago, though I think he got frustrated about
the lack of consensus on details.  Which is a problem, but I don't
think the solution is to accrue more and more independently-designed-
and-implemented features that each solve some subset of the big problem.
