I don't tend to do this too often, but I'm curious if others make a habit of 
this
for some process. When I have done this, it's normally one-off case.

It's informative, no? Sure if every dump used the same flags, it's pointless.
However, that's certainly not the case: --schema, --exclude-schema, etc. ie, I
imagine it would be nice to have the information about how a dump was performed
without having to track down someone's script or pester the person who's in the
know via e-mail if you wanted/needed to repeat the process.
