I'm not sure that the TODO item has a reason to live at all, but surely
the first item of work for it should be to figure out what its use-case
is. If pg_dump isn't going to use these functions, what will?
Well I can't think of a reason to use the functions as a way to deliver
CREATE statements.
Anyone else have thoughts?
Keeping 'em separate makes sense to me:
1/ API (or info schema views) provides the required data (e.g column
details for a table).
2/ client (e.g. pg_dump) decides what to do with it (e.g. construct a
CREATE statement from the column details).
