Granted, that example is more elaborate than this case, but writing

ArchiveEntry(fout, dbCatId, dbDumpId, .tag = datname, .owner = dba,
.desc = "DATABASE", .section = SECTION_PRE_DATA,
.defn = creaQry->data, .dropStmt = delQry->data);

instead of

ArchiveEntry(fout, dbCatId, dbDumpId, &(ArchiveOpts){.tag = datname,
.owner = dba, .desc = "DATABASE",
.section = SECTION_PRE_DATA, .defn = creaQry->data,
.dropStmt = delQry->data});

would be easy, and still save a bit of visual noise.
