Re: Allow dumping of roles or tablespaces

This seems a bit ugly, mainly because (1) it doesn't have a natural
translation to long-form switches, and (2) it screws up the usual
habit of merging multiple single-letter switches into one argument.
Perhaps something like

    --roles-only
    --tablespaces-only
    --globals-only

Not sure if there are free single-letter codes for the first two,
but on the whole I'm more interested in having sane long-form names
than sane short ones ...
