one of the program's core data structures, make use of the existing
ability to selectively exclude TOC items by ID. Slightly more code but
much less likely to create future maintenance problems.
to process all inclusion switches then all exclusion switches, so that the
behavior is independent of switch ordering.
Use of -T does not cause non-table objects to be suppressed. And
the patterns are now interpreted the same way psql's \d commands do it,
rather than as pure regex commands; this allows for example -t schema.tab
to do what it should have been doing all along. Re-enable the --blobs
switch to do something useful, ie, add back blobs into a dump they were
otherwise suppressed from.
portable long options. But we have had portable long options for a long
time now, so this is obsolete. Now people have added options which *only*
work with -X but not as regular long option, so I'm putting a stop to this:
-X is deprecated; it still works, but it has been removed from the
documentation, and please don't add more of them.
max_stack_depth is not set to an unsafe value.
This commit also provides configure-time checking for <sys/resource.h>,
and cleans up some perhaps-unportable code associated with use of that
include file and getrlimit().

present; intervening positions are filled with nulls. This behavior
is required by SQL99 but was not implementable before 8.2 due to lack
of support for nulls in arrays. I have only made it work for the
one-dimensional case, which is all that SQL99 requires. It seems quite
complex to get it right in higher dimensions, and since we never allowed
extension at all in higher dimensions, I think that must count as a
future feature addition not a bug fix.
the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT
NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null. The former coding got
this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it
could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong
for IS NOT NULL. Per report from Teodor.
I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec. This
probably needs more consideration.
