I have a good reason not to use UNIQUE. As I remember, pg_dump creates
the tables, copies in the data, then creates the indexes. This is much
faster than doing the copy with the indexes already created.
Right, that's the real implementation reason for

But it seems to me that it'd be really whizzy if there were two
different styles of output, one for a full dump (CREATE, load data,

The answer to that of course is that cross-table constraints (like
REFERENCES clauses) must be disabled while loading the data, or the
intermediate states where only some tables have been loaded are likely
to fail. So we do need some kind of DISABLE CONSTRAINT mode to make
this work. But

My feeling is "Let's walk before we run." We need psql \dt to show
primary/foreign keys and SERIAL first.

I think you need something more like:

Just a quick question regarding the pg_dump program:
I notice that PRIMARY KEY constraints are currently dumped as:
PRIMARY KEY ("field")
Whereas (to be in line with all the other constraints), it should be dumped
as:

Otherwise, some poor bugger who
