Oh, maybe we're not on the same page here: I wasn't really proposing
to do this right now, it's more of a TODO item.
Offhand the only reason to do it now would be if we settled on something
that required a layout change in pg_amop/pg_amproc. Since we already
have one such change in 9.1, getting the additional change done in the
same release would be valuable to reduce the number of distinct cases
for pg_dump and other clients to support.
