Thus, a flag to psql, per default keeping the documented behaviour like
it is.

Yes and No. They (the authors) told me to change my ddl scripts. The
bad part is that I can't modify them automatically (except by writing a full SQL
parser ;-) ). Thus, I have to watch for changes to the database schemas / data
and modify my own ddl scripts accordingly. While not a full-time-job by itself,
this solutions simply struck me as "not beautiful (tm)". Well, I guess I can
live a little longer with hand-modifying the ddl files ;-).
