Yes, IMHO this looks like a god idea. I planed to do something like that,
but to return some kind of description language (XML for example),so restore
could decide at runtime what exactly to do with that metadata ( depending on
what user wants - create database or not, create users or not, reset
serializators or not, replace existing objects or just create objects that
are not existing at database, even do a "pgpatch" on existing objects), but
this needs more time than I currently have :-(
I still hope I'll do it some day...
Regards !
