If you can convince me that there is some actual real-world use case for
a situation like this, I might think about complicating pg_dump to the
point where it would handle it.  If it's only an artificial corner case,
I don't think that the added complexity (and ensuing long-term
maintenance costs, plus risk of new bugs) is worth it.
