This is pretty much impossible. It's analogous to changing, say, the endianness of all integers. You would need to rewrite the entire database. But pg_dump & restore already does that.

Just a thought here ... but, how about some sort of CREATE DATABASE extension that would transparently do the dump/restore, with the restore based on the new encoding?
