The proposed TODO item was not about doing this, it was about removing
the option altogether. AFAICS it's a foot-gun and nothing else --- why
do we have it?
BTW, a point I had forgotten is that pg_restore doesn't enforce that it
not be used with a newer server:
/* XXX Should get this from the archive */
AHX->minRemoteVersion = 070100;
AHX->maxRemoteVersion = 999999;
I think this is probably sane, since after all we couldn't enforce that
the plain script output not be loaded into a newer server. But it means
that -i is effectively a no-op for pg_restore, which again begs the
question of why we have it.
