In 7.4 there is an optional BY that are allowed in the definiton of
sequences:
CREATE [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] SEQUENCE namn [ INCREMENT [ BY ] ökning ]
[ MINVALUE minvärde | NO MINVALUE ] [ MAXVALUE maxvärde | NO MAXVALUE ]
[ START [ WITH ] start ] [ CACHE cache ] [ [ NO ] CYCLE ]
(some swedish strings there, but still readable for you)
pg_dump uses this optional keyword BY which seems like a bad idea if one
wants to import it into a 7.3 database. Use the 7.3 dump you might say,
but since BY does not do anything why not remove it from the dump output?
