I think that makes sense, but what about other DATABASE level info
such as COMMENT? Should that also be ignored by pg_dump as well? I'm
specifically thinking of the discussion from the following thread:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20150317172459.GM3636@alvh.no-ip.org
If COMMENT is included then why not SECURITY LABEL or others?

I think the bigger question is "Where is the line drawn between
pg_dump and pg_dumpall?". At what point does one tool become the
other?
