The proposed TODO item was not about doing this, it was about removing
the option altogether.  AFAICS it's a foot-gun and nothing else --- why
do we have it?

BTW, a point I had forgotten is that pg_restore doesn't enforce that it
not be used with a newer server:

                /* XXX Should get this from the archive */
                AHX->minRemoteVersion = 070100;
                AHX->maxRemoteVersion = 999999;

I think this is probably sane, since after all we couldn't enforce that
the plain script output not be loaded into a newer server.  But it means
that -i is effectively a no-op for pg_restore, which again begs the
question of why we have it.

                        regards, tom lane
