I think we have to document it, but it can be fairly terse perhaps. Use the specified value of extra_float_digits when dumping floating-point data, rather than pg_dump's default. I don't think we need to go into detail about when/why you might want to use it; I can see people thinking of their own reasons. regards, tom lane
