I have been sent patches for this kind of thing, but I would like to see
them generalized to some extent. Not sure of the syntax, but I'd like to be
able to dump *any* selected pg_dump TOC entry type by name, or partial name
match. ie. tables, functions, indexes, etc.

Any suggestions as to how this is best done within unix-like commands? eg.

pg_dump/restore --select=table:<regexp> ?
pg_dump/restore --select=index:<regexp> ?

Any ideas?
