Hi,

I'm using the ltree module and located several problems, I think not all problems are 
really ltree related but might be a pg_dump/pg_restore problem.

Here are the problems I've encountered:
* pg_restore tries to create a table with ltree and ltree[] datatypes before the type 
itself is created, so it fails.
* several functions are already defined in template1, so "create database " will 
restore these functions. pg_restore will try to restore those functions as well
  and fails. Maybe "create or replace function" can be used here? I'm willing to do 
this if it's ok.
* I've gist indices on ltree[] columns, and when pg_restore tries to restore it it 
will report:
  pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR:  data type ltree[] has 
no default operator class for access method "gist"
          You must specify an operator class for the index or define a
          default operator class for the data type

  It seems those extra functions for index support are not restored. Removing the 
commit/end from ltree.sql and running it again (will report a lot of errors, but a few
  inserts as well) will make this work again. However it requires a lot of DBA 
assistance to restore.

All other problems are solvable by using "pg_restore -L" and using a modified archiv 
index, but IMO this should work out of the box.

Best regards,
        Mario Weilguni
