Sure --- while you're at it, put a "beginning of dump" at the start.

Is it worth adding the database name and/or other command-line
parameters given to pg_dump?

One thing to think about is the difference between a bare pg_dump and a
pg_dump/pg_restore sequence. Should these always generate identical
text output? (They do as of CVS tip, I believe, though this was not
always true before.)

Possibly this is all gilding the lily though...
