I'm not sure that's appropriate: extension membership is not a recursive
concept AFAICS.  In any case, as you say, it's something for more
analysis later.

I'd have put the getRules call where getEventTriggers is now, or at
least adjacent to getTriggers in one direction or the other.  I'm
not sure there is anything functionally wrong with what you have here;
but IMO rules and table-level triggers are pretty much the same kind
of critters so far as pg_dump is concerned, to wit, they're table
properties not free-standing objects (which is exactly the point of this
change).  So it seems to me to make sense to process them together.

BTW, don't forget that the getRules move needs to be back-patched.
