It might be that the later decision to change the representation of sequence dumps would make it possible to undo 4317e0246c and go back to having --schema-only/--data-only be true aliases for --section. But it'd take some research and probably end up causing some behavioral changes (eg. trigger handling as you note). Much the same research would be needed if you just wanted to document the current state of affairs more clearly. The real issue here is that --schema-only/--data-only do a few things that are not within --section's remit, such as trigger adjustments. Do we want to cause --section to have those effects too? I dunno. Do we want to give up those extra behaviors? Almost certainly not. Either way, I'm not personally planning to put effort into that anytime soon. regards, tom lane
