Not sure that I have a lot to add here, but I am officially listed as
a reviewer, which is a responsibility that I don't want to shirk.
In my opinion, this patch is obviously useful. I don't find the
asymmetry that it will create with pg_restore to be troubling, so I'd
favour committing it as-is.
Extremely minor problem noted: There are two spaces at the start of
one sentence in your SGML doc updates.
