If indeed the prescribed procedure is quote-all-identifiers I'd say we
should at least update the docs.
"""
Force quoting of all identifiers. This may be useful when dumping a
database for migration to a future version that may have introduced
additional keywords.
"""
I'd probably say something like:
"It is recommended to use this option when performing dumps intended for
migration or when dealing with a version of PostgreSQL different than
pg_dump. This is because the recognized keywords sometimes change between
major versions but only the quoting rules of the pg_dump version are
applied."
This doesn't seem to make its way that often to these lists otherwise I'd
recommend we add a "no-force-quote-identifiers" option and default to this
behavior.
