you could also make pretty, owner, tablespace, and schema_qualified as
optional parts of only_kinds and except_kinds.

Therefore, we could call these two ways and the result would be the same.
pg_get_table_ddl('idxd'::regclass, owner => false, tablespace =>
false, except_kinds
=> '{primary_key}');
pg_get_table_ddl('idxd'::regclass, except_kinds => '{primary_key,tablespace,
owner}');

Obviously this way you have to know if owner param is false or it exists on
except_kinds.
What do you think ?
