Re: deparsing utility commands

I'm thinking something like
 SELECT * FROM pg_creation_commands({'pg_class'::regclass, 'sometable'::pg_class});
would return a set of commands in the JSON-blob format that creates the
table.  The input argument is an array of object addresses, so that you
can request creation commands for multiple objects.  (It's not my
intention to provide this functionality right away, but if somebody else
wants to work on top of the current deparse patch, by my guest; if it
proves simple enough we can still get it into 9.5 as part of this
patch.)
