If we're going to change this, it seems to me that the only option would
be to change the dump format... Just off-the-cuff, I'm wondering if we
could actually not change the real 'format' but simply promote each ACL
entry (and similar cases..) to top-level objects and declare that TOC
entries should be single statements.

Agreed. If we want this, we should handle it on the pg_dump side, not
try and work it out on the pg_restore side.
