Nope ... those strings are just helpful comments, they aren't really
guaranteed to be unique identifiers. In any case, it seems unlikely
that a user could expect to get the more complicated cases exactly right
other than by consulting "pg_dump | pg_restore -l" output. Which makes
the use-case kind of dubious to me.
In which case would the catalogId, i.e. (tableoid, oid) not be unique?
Or do you rather mean that it does not necessarily refer to the same
object if that object got somehow recreated or that it could be
different on different installations of the same database?
It would be unique, but a pain in the neck for users to get. Robert's
idea will have more traction with users.
