A very useful feature for unlogged tables would be the ability to switch them back to normal tables -- this way you could do bulk loading into an unlogged table and then turn it into a regular table using just fsync(), bypassing all the WAL-logging overhead. It seems this could even be implemented in pg_restore itself.

Seems that syncing on a clean shutdown could use the same infrastructure as the above functionality. Have you thought about switching unlogged tables back to logged? Are there any significant obstacles?
