I've noticed that the dumps generated by pg_dump set the parameter
default_with_oids to true in various places (separated by setting it back to
false in-between).

This happens even for databases whose creation and maintenance did not
involve any explicit setting of this parameter.

The documentation deprecates setting this variable to true. Why does
pg_dump do it?

TIA!
