Hi,
in pg_restore archive format option is parsed using only the first
character of the value but in pg_dump the archive format option's
value is compared with whole string using pg_strcasecmp is there any
specific reason?
`git blame` tells me that this switch statement goes back to 2001.
Seeking a reason at this distance is unlikely to be productive. Probably
we were not nearly as careful then as we are now about such things. Feel
free to submit a patch tightening the test.
