Warning for exceeding max locks?

Hello,

We ran into a problem with a customer this weekend. They had >128,000 
tables and we were trying to run a pg_dump. When we reached 
max_locks_per_transaction, the dump just hung waiting to lock the next 
table.

Would it make sense to have some sort of timeout for that?

wait_for_lock_timeout?
