So pg_dump would produce this info when, and only when, you'd used
--create? I agree that it seems sensible in that case, I'm just
wondering if that will cover all the use-cases.
This would mean duplicating some functionality between pg_dump and
pg_dumpall ... or maybe we could move all that logic over to pg_dump and
have pg_dumpall use --create when invoking pg_dump.
