Because -D and -o are pg_dump options, which pg_dumpall just passes down
without inspection.  I'm not sure that it makes sense to try to
replicate pg_dump's validity checking logic in pg_dumpall; I fear we'd
be more likely to cause problems by letting them get out of sync than
to solve problems by complaining a little sooner.
