Hmm, while you're at it, maybe you could make it accept wild
cards or regexp or something :-) That should allow you to toss
the -n parameter altogether (schema.*) if you wanted to.

It would also be at least as good, IMO, to accept only one -t
option, re-defined as a comma-seperated list of names... And an
exlusion parameter defined the same way.
