by default, if given a relative path, it'll use the current working
directory. The current working directory could very much be readonly, and
requiring people to `cd` to target a specific directory is not practical.

I'm sorry, this was what I meant. So you can also do `-o
../dumps/dump.json`, or something alike. Patch indeed looks good on that
matter.
About the default: I agree that defaulting to `stdout` is the way to go to
maintain backwards compatibility. The main reason I opted for generating a
filename and using that when not specific, is in the light of ticket
#22258.
