Hm. I think it would be a good idea to collect these extension files somewhere so that pg_dump hacking can be tested with them. Right now, the extension part of pg_dump is easy to break in subtle ways, which discourages anyone who wants to meddle with it.
Maybe something in src/test/modules could keep these files so that pg_dump can be tested. Is anybody interested in doing that?

Please don't do that -- I mean don't use the commitfest app as the only source for random bits of data. If you want to reject a patch, please make sure to point that out in the email thread. It's impossible to go from email archives to commitfest entries.
