Hi,

Would it be possible to consider such an additional switch to pg_dump?

Of course the DBA has to know when to use it safely, but if the plan is to be 
able to restore later dump on the same machine to recover from some human 
error (oops, forgot the WHERE clause to this DELETE statement), it seems it 
would be a good idea.
