The latest bug report reminded me that our standard test suite doesn't
exercise pg_dump at all. Please do try to beat on RC5's pg_dump over
the next week and see if it does the right things.

The classic test is dump/reload/dump and compare the dumps. I wonder if
we could automate that.

That wouldn't have caught the index ownership bug. I just did a
test with the 8.0.0rc4 pg_dump and got identical output even though
the restored indexes had the wrong ownership. I don't oppose the
idea -- I'm just mentioning one case where it wouldn't have worked.
