What I'd like to see it do is grab the dependency data in pg_depend and
do a topological sort using that. This leaves some issues still to be
resolved ... like what to do when dumping a pre-7.3 database ... but I
think it's the core of a maintainable solution.
IIRC, you can find some further discussion in the archives.
