If you have things set to "trust", you can be superuser, eh?
A password approach might be workable using ~/.pgpass, but only in a
scenario where (a) a non-superuser has everyone else's passwords in his
~/.pgpass, and (b) there are no superuser-owned objects in the dump.
Neither of those assumptions hold up to scrutiny.
In practice I think use-set-session-auth is vastly the superior
technique, especially considering you can use --no-owner if you
really don't want any SET SESSION AUTH commands in there.
