Okay, I will concede that part of my argument. And for the record, I've
written pg_dump output parsing programs many times over the years, and seen
others in the wild. It's not uncommon as some in this thread think.

None, but that's kind of the point - this is a very special class of data
(so much so, that we've been arguing about where it fits in our usual
pre/data/post paradigm). So I don't think it's unreasonable that something
this unique (and non-deterministic) gets excluded by default. It's still
only a flag away if people require it.
Cheers,
Greg
