Thanks for reminding me about that, I completely forgot about all that.
On the other hand, discrepancies in between command line arguments
processing in our tools are already not helping our users (even if
pg_dump -d seems to have been fixed along the years); so much so that
I'm having a hard time finding any upside into having a different set of
command line argument capabilities for the same tool depending on the
major version.
We are not talking about a new feature per se, but exposing a feature
that about every other command line tool we ship have. So I think I'm
standing on my position that it should get backpatched as a "fix".
