I'm confused. Won't pg_dump quote the keywords it knows its postgres 
version will need quoted? We can't expect it to have knowledge of future 
requirements for quoting, unless someone really does invent time travel 
(in which case someone could just go to the future and bring back 
version 107.6 and save us all the trouble).
