I guess this will also require changes to pg_restore to support:

-g globals only
-r roles only
-t tablespaces (conflicts with pg_restore's table specification of -t)

And of course being able to restore individual databases and specifying
restoration of a table/function/trigger within specific databases.  I guess
that could be done by specifying a database to restore, then asking for a
single function.

e.g.:

pg_restore --database=my_source_database -P my_function(argtype) -d
my_destination_database /database/backup/file

And adding database entry support to the listing file.
