Just FWIW, I did a quick test tonight. It applies cleanly, compiles OK. I
did a dump:

$ pg_dumpall -Fd -f dir

and then a restore (after dropping the databases I had):

$ pg_restore -Cd postgres -v dir

It worked really well. That's great.

Quick thing to fix: you've got this error message:
pg_restore: error:  -d/--dbanme should be given when using archive dump of
pg_dumpall

I guess it is --dbname, rather than --dbanme.

Of course, it needs much more testing, but this feature would be great to
have. Thanks for working on this!
