I'm rewriting the dbdump endpoint (PR #3912) and the output format used by Perl is a binary, compressed SQL script. It makes editing and even testing just a bit harder than it could be. The data is still compressed for transfers, but a plain SQL script is much easier for a human to analyze. pg_restore can work with any format that pg_dump outputs - and it automatically detects which one to use, so the user doesn't even need to know, really.
But is this a problem for anyone, for any reason?
