Well, if you want to dump a subset of the tables in your database, you
can already do that. I think that adding a pattern to
--no-unlogged-tables (or whatever we end up calling it) would be an
unnecessary frammish. There's no particular reason to think that
unlogged tables are going to be so widely used or that concerns about
which ones are going to be so widespread that we should do something
here when we don't even have much simpler things like --function,
which IMHO would extremely useful.
