If you are calling pg_dump with different flags, it seems likely your breaking
diff equality anyway so I'm not sure how valid that is. Actually, in some
cases I'd expect the difference in flags might actually make other difference
more clear, for example comparing a dump with a -T flag vs. one without, the
differences might be scattered throughout the dump (table, triggers,indexes),
seeing the difference in the dump flags would likely make things more
concrete.
