Actually, it's probably more important to be selectable at restore time 
than at dump time, so if you're doing just one ...

This whole thing set me wondering whether or not we should provide a 
more general command-line facility to psql and pg_restore, and maybe 
others, to do some session setup before running their commands.

Of course, there's no reason we couldn't have both.
